He suggested that in the coming time, the province continue to strengthen the steering committees at all levels, clearly assign tasks and responsibilities, and annually develop specific plans to implement the Programs.

The Deputy Minister also noted that in addition to paying attention to poor households, the province needs to provide special support to near-poor households because the boundary between near-poor and poor is very fragile. In addition, all policies and regimes need to be implemented openly and transparently to create trust among the people.

In the health sector, Ninh Binh needs to focus on preventing and fighting diseases such as monkey pox, diphtheria, dengue fever, hand, foot and mouth disease. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job of expanding vaccination; minimizing the shortage of drugs and medical supplies; paying attention to food safety and hygiene issues in street food and tourist areas and spots; and linking tourism development with traditional medicine.
