Priorities in the goal of building a barrier-free society include: Increasing investment in assistive technology and information technology for people with disabilities; improving the quality of health and rehabilitation services; expanding educational and vocational training opportunities; and building an inclusive working environment.

Vietnam pays great attention to the work of people with disabilities, creating the best conditions to help people with disabilities integrate equally into the community. Currently, the social security system is constantly expanding its coverage and improving the quality of policies for people with disabilities. Over 1.6 million people with severe disabilities receive monthly social benefits, 96% of people with disabilities have health insurance cards, central, provincial and district general hospitals all have rehabilitation departments; children with disabilities are supported to study in integrated educational institutions; children who are not capable of integrated learning are supported to study in specialized educational institutions.

The entire workforce of people with disabilities (nearly 4 million people) has been supported with vocational training, job creation, livelihoods or loans with preferential interest rates to find their own jobs. They also receive attention and incentives when participating in traffic, entering entertainment areas, cultural works, historical relics with free or reduced tickets...

That concern has provided the best support for people with disabilities to integrate into life, creating equality in society. That is why the lives of people with disabilities in Vietnam are improving day by day, and the rights of people with disabilities are gradually being guaranteed.

In the coming time, Vietnam will continue to strengthen international cooperation, learn from the experiences of countries in the region and around the world, to achieve the goals of inclusion and integration for people with disabilities; increase assistance in healthcare, education, vocational training, employment, access to public works, transportation, information technology and communications for people with disabilities.
