The number of hand-foot-mouth patients in a week has dropped for the first time, according to the Preventive Medicine Department.

Only 2,751 cases of infection were reported in the past week, 101 less than in the previous week.

Since the beginning of 2012, as many as 28,000 people have been infected with the disease and 18 have died, said Tran Thanh Duong, Vice Head of the Preventive Medicine Department.

The Health Ministry has asked central hospitals to train local health staff in the methods of diagnosis and treatment.
