Australia helps Vietnam fight tuberculosis | Welcome to Vietnam
A group of Vietnamese doctors have recently worked with the Centenary Institute under the University of Sydney and the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research in Australia on plans to prevent tuberculosis (TB) in Vietnam.
The coordination on the National TB Control Programme (NTCP) research project between the Centenary Institute and the Vietnamese Central Hospital for Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases (CHTLD) in the past two years has gained remarkable results. The project is now being implemented at 71 hospitals in 8 cities and provinces across Vietnam.
NTCP Deputy Director Dr. Nguyen Tien Nhung said Australia has supported Vietnam in two major research projects on finding active TB in people who have contact with TB patients, and TB related genes.
In addition, Australia has sent doctors and researchers to work in Vietnam, and Vietnam also sent doctors to study at the University of Sydney, he said.
TB kills more than 54,000 Vietnamese people every year.
Bilateral medical cooperation between the two countries has been implemented for over 20 years. Since 1990, doctors from the CHTLD have been sent to Australia to study asthma.
