flag Vietnam is expanding midwife training to improve maternal care in remote areas, where many women lack access to prenatal services.

flag Vietnam is expanding training for village midwives to address a shortage in remote areas, where many women lack access to prenatal care and often give birth at home. flag Despite 3,077 midwives trained since the 1990s, over half have left due to insufficient funding, leaving only 911 receiving allowances. flag Midwives, many from ethnic minority communities, play a key role in reducing maternal and child mortality—Vietnam’s maternal mortality rate is now among the lowest in Southeast Asia. flag Training includes comprehensive care and clinical practice, with a 30-year safety record. flag Efforts continue to improve funding, incentives, and support systems to sustain these vital health workers in underserved regions.
