Senior experts from theGovernment, public and private hospital administrations, civil society,and academia have gathered in Hanoi for a discussion on the state ofnon-communicable diseases (NCD) in Vietnam.

Moderated by Ha AnhDuc and Vuong Tuan Anh, both senior researchers at the Institute ofPopulation, Health and Development, the roundtable discussed how thecountry’s healthcare eco-system needs to adapt to meet challenges in theface of rising NCD rates.

"Southeast Asia is no doubt strugglingwith the challenges of successfully managing the NCD burden," Duc, whois a founding member of the ASEAN NCD Network, said.

NCDs accountfor 60 percent of global deaths, with 80 percent of these deathsoccurring in low- and middle-income countries, making them a major causeof poverty and an urgent growing issue.

In Vietnam, the overall NCD morbidity and mortality rates have been rising rapidly in the last two decades.

The mortality rate from NCDs is four times higher than from infectious diseases.

Cardiovasculardiseases are now the leading cause of death in the country, killingthree times more people than infectious and parasitic diseases, andaccounting for nearly a fifth of the total disease burden.

Butthe risk of many NCDs can be lowered with concerted efforts by allstakeholders to drive behavioral change, the workshop heard.

"TheASEAN NCD Network is taking the first big step towards helping thecountries in the region to find plausible, long-term solutions," SanjayBapna, head of SEA, Philips Healthcare APAC, said.

"Some of theideas and solutions shared through the session in Hanoi today might befurther developed into working policies and initiatives to help with theburden of non-communicable diseases on the local and nationalhealthcare systems,” Sanjay Bapna added.

The ASEAN NCD Network has unꩵdertaken a bloc-wide study on innovations in NCD Management with a core focus on Vietnam.♎-VNA
