The healthcare sector is increasingly expanding and developing at a very rapid pace. For healthcare assistants, job requirements demand that they fully understand their functions, duties, and roles, and be equipped with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to support patient care. To date, Vietnam's healthcare workforce training systems have not provided a formal training program for healthcare assistants. This situation leads to a shortage of professionally trained healthcare assistants and creates considerable difficulties in recruiting personnel for this position in hospitals.
Due to the hospital's actual personnel recruitment needs, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City announces enrollment for the TRAINING PROGRAM:

Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) is an undesirable consequence in the practice of diagnosis, treatment and patient care. HAI increases the incidence of disease, raises mortality rates, prolongs treatment duration and especially increases treatment costs. HAI occurs at high density in medical facilities that do not strictly adhere to aseptic practice procedures and where knowledge and attitudes regarding infection control among healthcare staff are limited. Therefore, healthcare workers, especially those in the infection control field, need to be trained and equipped with comprehensive knowledge to coordinate with other specialties, ensuring infection control and patient safety in care and treatment.
Stroke is a common disease with about 200,000 new stroke cases each year, according to Ministry of Health statistics. Moreover, stroke causes severe consequences, being the leading cause of death in Vietnam, and can leave serious disabilities for survivors. To mitigate the impact of stroke, alongside prevention efforts, emergency revascularization with medication and endovascular intervention together with organized stroke units for comprehensive care have yielded spectacular results, helping many stroke patients return to normal life.
