With a history spanning over 60 years, the development of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health plays a crucial role in the remarkable growth of Hanoi Medical University. Medical schools contribute significantly to the development of the sector's human resources. Training activities in preventive medicine are conducted annually at medical training institutions.
