In July 2026, the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SPMPH), Hanoi Medical University, welcomed a delegation of 13 students from Gyeongkuk National University (GKNU), South Korea, to participate in an internship program focused on epidemiology, infectious diseases, and immunization. The program was designed to enhance academic exchange, share experiences, and foster cooperation between the two institutions in the field of public health.
Throughout the program, students participated in specialized lectures on the Vietnamese public health system, infectious disease surveillance, outbreak investigation and response, and learned about the expanded immunization program. They also gained practical experience in data analysis, simulated outbreak investigations, and implemented group projects. Additionally, the delegation had the opportunity to undertake practical training at the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) and visit vaccine production and quality control facilities, thereby connecting theoretical knowledge with practical application.
The program not only helped students enhance their professional competence and teamwork skills in an international environment but also facilitated cultural exchange and built a network of cooperation between experts and the young generation of public health professionals from Vietnam and South Korea. This is also one of the exemplary activities affirming SPMPH's commitment to promoting the internationalization of training and developing high-quality public health human resources.
