As Vietnam enters a new era of digital transformation and population development, strengthening reproductive healthcare and building a supportive ecosystem for healthy, happy, and sustainable families have become national priorities.
Family planning education and modern contraceptive options can contribute to this effort by helping couples make informed decisions about parenthood, avoid unintended pregnancies, reduce associated health risks, and make informed decisions about the timing and spacing of pregnancies, contributing to the well-being of mothers, children, and families.
According Dinh Huy Duong, Vice Chairman of VINAFPA, the partnership between with Bayer Vietnam, and Pharmacity is more than a collaboration among three organizations. It reflects a shared commitment to advancing public health, improving population quality, and supporting the development of healthy, happy, and sustainable families.
