Dr Lê Trường Giang, chairman of the HCM City Public Health Association, said that such services "would guide people to self care and health monitoring and provide tele-health via counselling from doctors." Such services would help change the mindset of “sick care into wellness care” in order to improve the quality of life, Giang said.
Vietnam is among the countries with the fastest aging population rate, which is expected to increase incidences of chronic non-communicable diseases.
