Viet Nam

Viet Nam is a country that is undergoing rapid social and economic changes from a socialist system to that of a market economy. Social inequities are persistent, including unequal access to health care.

To ensure the health care system is accountable, civil society and advocacy groups, including Atlantic’s grantees, must raise their voices on behalf of the social needs of the marginalised populations throughout Viet Nam. In addition, Atlantic and our grantees seek to build and sustain local capacity for producing and using social research for advocacy and policymaking. We also are working with the government to strengthen the health information system.

Grantmaking in Viet Nam

The Population Health Programme focuses on developing models of primary care delivery at the province level to ensure quality services for disadvantaged people, and addressing the physical and human capacity needs of important public health institutions.
