Nearly 60 scientific reports were presented at the conference by medical experts from around the country.

Conference participants focused their discussion on three major issues: the impact of climate change, the application of information technology in the public heath sector, and elderly people in Vietnam. They exchanged information about healthcare policy, environment, nutrition, research on aging, and HIV/AIDS.

They warned that many in Vietnam have been violating laws regulating the sale of cigarettes, and urged the implementation of a public non-smoking policy and increased public awareness of food hygiene and safety.

The presentations and reports delivered at the conference provide a basis for public health policy and better healthcare services for all Vietnamese people.
