Improve health care quality

I was thinking about the time when Japanese fans of the 2022 World Cup cleaned up the field after every game. By contrast, it is not difficult to encounter bad behaviors from certain Vietnamese people these days. These include spitting, littering, pushing and shoving, trespassing, breaking traffic laws, allowing pets to defecate in public, smoking and even swearing and fighting in public. These actions have tarnished the Vietnamese reputation abroad and have had far-reaching negative effects on health, safety, the environment, and many other things. Moreover, there are numerous pressing problems that need immediate attention, including workplace safety, fire prevention, pollution, food safety, and so on. The big question is whether we can eradicate all the harmful behaviors in all of these settings. It's possible, in my opinion, if the public and government work together as a united social system. Aside from factors like cultural traditions and education (by both parents and … [Read more...] about ‘Big Brother’ could improve behavior in Vietnam

On this occasion, Naomi Kitahara, UNFPA Representative for Vietnam, grants Vietnam Law & Legal Forum magazine an interview on the results Vietnam has achieved in civil status work as well as things that should be done in the future for fulfilling the country’s set goals. The Civil Status Law was passed by the 13th National Assembly in 2014 and enacted on January 1, 2016. This was the first time Vietnamese legislators had issued a separate law to govern civil status work. One year after the promulgation of the law, the Prime Minister approved the National Action Program on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics for the 2017-2024 period. This is considered the country’s long stride in improving the legal framework for civil status work, facilitating citizens’ registration of vital events, thus contributing to better protecting their legitimate rights and interests.
