The Dengue Project between Vietnam Army Medical Units of Army Medical Department (Ministry of Defence) and the Australian Army Malaria Institute has been conducted in the period of 5 years (2005-2010). From 12 to 13 of August 2010, at the Army Hospital 87, the workshop o­n the result of Dengue Project was held between the partners of the Vietnamese Army Epidemic Prevention Institute and the Australian Army Malaria Institute.

In the first months of 2010, Fascioliasis situation in Vietnam has seemingly cooled down because the source of specific drug (Triclabendazole) has been provided sufficiently for health services. However, this situation is not stable and high risk of outbreak can occur at any time, especially in the provinces with high rate of morbidity of Central Vietnam.

In 2010, the Ministry of Health (MoH) issued the new training material "Guidance o­n diagnosis and treatment of malaria" in order to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment of malaria in accordance with the current malaria situation. Confronted with increased tendency of malaria morbitdity and mortality in severely-hit areas, the Central Vietnam Global Fund (VGF) Malaria Project has supported training for health workers at the provincial and district levels under VGF project in Central Vietnam.

For years and years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been supporting the disease prevention and people's health improvement in poor countries worldwide in all aspects. As a health organization having the world's leading technical experience, in recent years, WHO has helped Vietnam to implement many projects which not o­nly contribute to reduce disease burden and improve the people's health in the worst disease-affected areas, but also help enhance the capacity of health staff in difficult, mountainous and outreached areas in Vietnamese territory.

The Civil-Army health cooperation at the grassroots localities in the recent years has achieved good results in the duty of caring and protecting soldiers and population in the garrisoning area, especially as natural disasters, floods, epidemics occuring. The Civil-Army medical committees at provinces, cities, districts levels have proved their ablility in the past time, so should civil-army committee be established in communes, wards and townships?
