A team of researchers at the Center for Technology Innovation (CTI) at the Brookings Institution analyzed data from 18 developing countries in Asia and Africa based on 25 indicators in the Global Health Governance Capacity Index (HGCI), including five categories such as leadership, management capacity, policies, regulations, infrastructure and financing, and health systems. The report shows that, of the 18 countries considered, Vietnam was ranked among the top nations with the highest score on indicators.
In addition, the US experts also praised Vietnam’s efforts in policymaking and operations of health activities for community services and marked the country as a promising destination for health sector investment.
