The Ministry of Health has proposed a number of support policies for students majoring in Medicine and Pharmacy.
The information was shared by Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan at the Conference on implementing health work in 2025 held this morning (December 24).
Accordingly, the head of the Ministry of Health recommended that the Government continue to pay attention to directing and issuing more policies and incentives to attract human resources in the medical sector. In particular, research and approve a number of incentives such as medical students being supported with tuition and living expenses during their time at school.
The Minister cited current regulations, students majoring in Pedagogy are supported with tuition fees equal to the tuition fees charged by the training institution. At the same time, they are supported with 3.63 million VND/month to cover living expenses during their time studying at the school.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, the country has 214 medical personnel training facilities, including 66 universities, 139 vocational training facilities, and 9 doctoral training research institutes. The Ministry of Health manages 22 schools and institutes. The number of doctors graduating in 2023 is 11,297; the number of pharmacists graduating is 8,470 and the number of nurses graduating is 18,178.
The Ministry of Health has found that the quality of medical staff training has not met practical needs, and has not yet strengthened and supplemented specific policies for medical staff training. The number of medical students and postgraduates has increased many times, but the number of hospitals for practice has hardly increased. Opportunities for students and trainees to interact with patients have decreased significantly.
The solution proposed by the Ministry of Health is to continue to develop regulations related to the specifics of medical human resource training to perfect the institution to create a legal environment for innovation in medical human resource training.
The Ministry of Health continues to strengthen inspection, supervision, and quality assurance of medical human resource training, promptly correct and direct the training and continuous training of medical staff to ensure the quality of medical human resource training. At the same time, step by step strengthen training and improve the quality of medical human resources at lower levels, remote, isolated, and disadvantaged areas through training and sending young doctors to disadvantaged areas.
