New heart technique applied for very first time in Vietnam

Doctors from the Ha Noi-based Bach Mai Hospital conducted a surgery on a man to replace artificial heart valve in new place for the very first time.

Duong Duc Hung, head of the hospital’s Heart Surgery Division, said that doctors performed the operation on patient Nguyen The Duc, 25 in Hanoi who had undergone operations to replace man-made heart valve three times.

Dr. Hung said that the new technique to replace artificial heart valve should be applied on those who have injury in the root of the patient’s aorta. As the artificial valve is put in the normal position, it will be easily flaked off; accordingly the patient will die at anytime. The new technique can improve the flaking off.

The operation lasted 13 hours. One day after the operation, the patient has recovered and his liver and kidney function work as normal.

Hanoi to host Asia-Pacific Disability Forum Conference

Da Nang secondary students awake to gender equality

Up to 1,500 teachers and students from secondary schools across the central city of Da Nang gained a better insight into gender equality and gender violation prevention at a camp event on November 23.

They excitedly joined painting, postcard designing, photo competitions, folk games and music performances.

As part of the “Love Journey” project by Spanish non-governmental organization for peace and development Paz Y Desarrollo (Pyd) and the municipal Department of Education and Training, the event was to raise awareness of gender equality rules in every aspect of social life, the Law on Child Protection, Care and Education and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

PyD Programme Director Elena Cristini said the camp is sure to offer helpful lessons and pave way for the achievement of gender equality and the fight against gender violation in the future.

In a survey conducted by the department, 38 percent of students aged 12-13 responded that they had witnessed beatings between their parents while 67 percent had been punished physically by their teachers. Only 6 percent of boys and 12 percent of girls were aware of gender equality issue.

Vietnam vows to accelerate poverty reduction efforts

The adoption of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition and the Framework for Action will serve as a direction for the sustainable development of agriculture, food and nutrition security in Vietnam , Ambassador to Italy Nguyen Hoang Long has said.

The Vietnamese government vows to step up poverty reduction efforts in the country, Long, who is also Vietnam’s permanent representative at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, told the second International Conference on Nutrition in Rome, Italy on November 19-21.

Attendants shared view that nutrition security and poverty are posing challenges to many countries around the world, with around 805 million being hungry and 162 million children suffering malnutrition and stunted growth.

About 2 billion are living with essential vitamin insufficiency while 42 million children and 500 million adults are obese and overweight.

The declaration and framework was reached unanimously by roughly 200 countries after their consultations with social organizations and private sector globally.

Individuals purchasing commercial houses worth 1.05 billion VND (50,000 USD) or less in urban projects that authorities have approved are entitled to financial assistance from the national real estate bailout program.

This was under the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)'s Circular No 32/2014/TT-NHNN issued early this week to guide lending activities to assist business and market developments.

Previously, the Government also required State-owned commercial banks to reserve at least three percent of their total outstanding loans to help low-income citizens lease or purchase social or commercial houses measuring less than 70 sq.m and priced below 15 million VND (714 USD) per sq.m.

Vietnam has been implementing a 30 trillion VND (1.43 billion USD) national real estate bailout package that has been disbursing capital since 2013 through Vietinbank, Vietcombank and BIDV, as well as Agribank and Mekong Housing Bank.

According to the latest SBV circular, package beneficiaries include civilians and armed forces servants and workers, as well as households and individuals who build social houses to serve workers and students.

Enterprises that transform their commercial housing projects into social housing projects are likewise qualified for support.

While interest rates for program loans remain unchanged at six percent per year or lower as designated by the SBV, the maximum term that home buyers or renters may enjoy such rates has been extended from 10 to 15 years and cannot be prolonged after June 1, 2031.

For customers nationwide who build or repair their own houses, each can acquire a maximum loan of 700 million VND (33,330 USD).

The SBV is suggesting that joint-stock commercial banks join the program and register with it for this purpose within 30 days after the circular takes effect on November 25.-

Quang Ninh begins construction of China-linked bridge

Work started on November 22 on the construction of a bridge spanning over the Bac Luan River which will connect Mong Cai in northern coastal Quang Ninh province with Dongxing in China’s Guangxi province.

The building of the Bac Luan Bridge II was studied in 2006 under the Prime Minister’s instructions. Accordingly, Quang Ninh was assigned to cooperate with relevant agencies to work with the Chinese side to implement the project in line with current regulations.

In March 2012, an agreement on the construction of the bridge was inked by Vietnam and China, defining that the construction must not change the river flow, river-bed and the shared border and will be undertaken by both sides. Once completed, the bridge is a mutually owned facility.

Up to now, the two sides have completed the bridge designing and assessment, meeting mutual technical requirements.

Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh provincial People’s Committee Le Quang Tung asked agencies and contractors involved to closely coordinate with a view to implementing the project on schedule with required quality.

Together with the future Ha Long-Mong Cai expressway, the Bac Luan bridge II, with Vietnam’s total investment of over 336 billion VND (16 million USD), plays an extremely important role in transportation and trade exchange between two localities and two countries.

In addition, the bridge serves as a gateway for ASEAN and China.

HCM City to provide social services for migrant children

Children of disadvantaged migrants in four HCM City districts with high migrant populations will receive educational and health assistance under a project by the HCM City Children Welfare Association.

Education and health care were basic rights of all children including migrants, and the program was aimed at ensuring these basic rights, Luong Thi Thuan, the association's chairwoman, said.

Funded by the Danish Vietnamese Association, the three-year, US$465,000 project — in 12 wards and communes in Districts Tan Phu, 7, 8, and Binh Chanh — began this month, she added.

Free classes would be organized for migrant children who drop out of school, according to Nguyen Ngoc Phuc, the project co-coordinator.

All disadvantaged children would be provided with scholarships to cover tuition fees and money for books and other learning aids, he said.

They would also get vocational training scholarships and health and accident insurance, he said.

Young migrants with unintended pregnancies would get reproductive health care, while children would be taught living skills and how to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission and sexual abuse, he said.

Nguyen Thanh Phung, head of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs' children protection division, said that the city's economic development attracted a large number of people from other provinces and cities, who came to live and work with their children.

Besides, a large of children came on their own looking for jobs, she said.

All these children had difficulty accessing education and health care, she said, hoping the project would help improve things.

City leaders had instructed district authorities to focus on creating a safe environment for children, including migrants, and ensure children's rights, she said.

The city had increased the allocation of funds for children's programs, she added.

 Huge explosives haul in Ba Ria-Vung Tau

Anti-smuggling officers in the southern coastal province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau yesterday seized a total of 53.5kg of explosives, the biggest amount found in the southern region so far.

Tons of poisonous puffer fish destroyed

About 1.4 tons of illegal, poisonous puffer fish were destroyed yesterday, after Ha Long City police found them on a truck on Thursday in the northern province of Quang Ninh.

Pham Ngoc Thao, 38, from Quang Ninh's Van Don District, admitted to delivering the puffer fish to fodder producers in Ha Noi.

Police tests showed that the puffer fish contained natural poison, which means they cannot be fished, transported, bought or processed.

Thao was fined VND30 million (US$1,440) for transporting the fish.

Resettlement slow at hydropower plants

Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai called for the prompt resettlement of people displaced by the construction of hydropower plants in Son La and Lai Chau provinces.

Son La, Dien Bien and Lai Chau provinces are already creating resettlement areas, but are making slow progress on compensation payments for displaced residents, as well as financial paperwork at the Son La hydropower plant.

By the end of October, contractors finished 80 percent of the Lai Chau hydropower plant. However, progress has been sluggish on the road network between Nam Nhun, Muong Te and Pac Ma, as well as on site clearance, the bidding procedures for the Son La- Lai Chau 500kV transmission line and infrastructure development in resettlement areas, according to the State Steering Board for the Son La and Lai Chau hydropower projects.

In Lai Chau, resettlement and site clearance procedures for the hydropower plant were on schedule, with more than 1,380 households relocated and given access to clean water and electricity. Lai Chau authorities requested permission to use VND75 billion (US$3.5 million) from the project's budget to renovate facilities serving displaced residents.

Hai called on relevant units to finish a financial report on the resettlement process for the Son La hydropower plant, which is expected to be complete next year. He also asked the Ministries of Agriculture and Rural Development, Industry and Trade, Transport, Finance and Planning and Investment to help implement the project.

New strains to lift maize yields

By applying more advanced technology, Vietnamese maize farmers could boost yields by 50 per cent by 2020 and reduce money spent on imports, Syngenta Representative Peter Pickering said at a recent meeting with Vietnamese agricultural leaders.

The Swiss company, a global leader in the field of crop protection and agricultural biotechnology, launched a program last year to transfer maize cultivation technology to farmers in Viet Nam's key corn growing areas. These include the northern mountainous area, the Central Highlands and the Red River Delta. The company also supplied seeds of a new hybrid variety to these areas.

Pickering said initial results were encouraging, adding that he hoped the maize varieties, which were resistant to herbicide and corn borers, would be approved by the Government for commercial production.

In addition to good seeds, technical advances were necessary to increase yields, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Quoc Doanh said.

For this autumn-winter crop, the company worked with Van Nam Agricultural Co-operative to provide farms with hybrid maize seeds as well as pest management solutions to improve yield.

The Asia-Pacific region has the largest corn growing area, but productivity is often low. In Viet Nam, maize fields have an average yield of 4.3 tons per ha.

The country has to import 9 million tons of maize for feed production annually. According to predictions, more than US$1 billion will be spent to import about 4.5 million tons of corn from now until the end of this year. Last year, the country spent more than $4 billion on agricultural material imports.

Firms urged to offer healthcare services

Enterprises in Viet Nam should provide comprehensive health care to employees to increase productivity and retention, an expert said yesterday at a workshop held in HCM City.

Nguyen Tuan Kiet, an organization and people development consultant, said that companies should also offer reproductive healthcare services.

The workshop was held to discuss the report, The Power of 1.8 billion: Adolescents, Youth and the Transformation of the Future, released by UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Centre for Central Youth and Adolescents.

Kiet said that his own survey of reproductive and sexual health knowledge showed that a high number of employees lacked this knowledge.

"Enterprises see lower labor productivity when employees' health is not taken care of," Kiet said.

Research on the Return on Investment (ROI) rate for an 18-month period at factories in Viet Nam and Bangladesh showed an ROI of 3:1, he said. The ROI is used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment when comprehensive healthcare is offered.

If provided healthcare, employees work more effectively and have fewer days off due to illness, and are more loyal to their companies..

Training for employees to develop their skills and gender equality is also very vital, according to Kiet.

Vo Tan Thanh, deputy general director of Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce & Industry (VCCI) in HCM City, said more than 62 million people in Viet Nam were aged 15 to 64, accounting for 69 per cent of the country's population.

To take full advantage of these "golden" human resources, the country needed to have programmes to improve their skills, he added.

As of the first quarter, the country's labor force was 53.6 million, but only 25.6 million of them have received training.

The country's labor productivity was still lower than other countries in the region, he added.

The workshop was held by UNFPA and HCM City's VCCI.

Two business leaders face prosecution for fraud

Ca Maus Police Department yesterday prosecuted two fishing industry business leaders for defrauding the Viet Nam Development Banks (VDB) Minh Hai branch in Ca Mau of VND600 billion (US$28.5 million).

The police arrested Dang Thi Ngoi, director of the Ngoc Sinh Fishery Import and Processing Enterprise in U Minh district, for defrauding VDB of VND430 billion ($20.4 million).

Ngoi closed down her business in 2009, though she had borrowed VND300 billion ($14.3 million) from the bank, plus a total interest of VND130 billion ($6.1 million) that she had been unable to pay earlier.

Ngoi could not pay her debts because her enterprises value was less than VND100 billion ($4.7 million), the police reported.

The local police also prosecuted Phan Minh Nhat, deputy director of the Minh Chau Fishery Processing Company in Cai Nuoc district, for defrauding VDB of VND170 billion ($8.1 million).

Nhat escaped arrest, however, by running away from his residential area.

The police are investigating further.

Project to add Bac Giang’s rural villages to national grid

The northern province of Bac Giang is working on a project to connect 89 rural hamlets and villages to the national power grid by 2020.

The target localities are in 24 rural and mountainous communes in Son Dong, Luc Ngan, Luc Nam, Yen The, and Lang Giang districts.

The province will spend more than 263 billion VND (12.5 million USD) on the project, which is partly financed by official development assistance.

The project entails the construction of more than 81.4km of medium-voltage power lines, 180km of low-voltage lines, and 65 substations, as well as the installation of 8,721 electricity meters in local households.

It aims to meet household and business demand for power, helping to foster socio-economic development and wellbeing in mountainous areas.

Located 50km to the north of Hanoi, Bac Giang comprises one city and nine districts, seven of which are considered mountainous. It is home to 20 ethnic groups, with the most populous ethnicity being the Kinh people. The remaining 200,000 residents, 12.5 percent of the local population, are ethnic minorities.-

Solutions for renewal energy promotion discussed

Production cost is the major barrier for the development of renewable energy in Vietnam, an official from the Institute of Energy told a workshop in Hanoi on November 21.

Dr Nguyen Anh Tuan, Director of the institute’s International Cooperation Department, added that new technologies are expected to make wind and solar energy and bio-fuel more cost-competitive compared to fossil fuel.

He also pointed out that the lack of support policies and incentives as well as difficulties in accessing capital are among other obstacles.

Deputy Director of Green Innovation and Development Centre (GreenID) Tran Dinh Sinh said the workshop is to introduce forecast of Vietnam’s energy demand between 2015 and 2030, the potential of efficient use of energy, and existing obstacles to the development of alternative energy and energy saving in the country.

Hosted by Green ID, the event formed part of activities by the World Wildlife Fund in its initiative to promote sustainable energy development in Vietnam.

HIV treatment technology transfer centre shaping in HCMC

A project on building an HIV-addiction treatment technology transfer centre was officially kicked off at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy in on November 21.

The project is a joint effort of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the Hanoi Medical University and University of California with support from the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the US Department of Health and Human Services.

The centre will conduct research on treatments for addictive substances such as morphine, heroine, methamphetamine, alcohol and ecstasy.

It will cooperate with domestic and foreign specialists to open training courses on addiction treatment as well as to provide treatment to addicts at detoxification centres.

According to Ph.D Do Van Dung, Vice Rector of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the addicts not only suffer from poor health but they are also vulnerable to HIV infection, which affects their families as well as the whole society.  

He added that using medical intervention for addiction treatment is one of the priorities of the medical sector, especially when HIV pandemic is spreading in the world.

The project is scheduled to be completed in three years. Earlier, a Vietnam-HIV Addiction Treatment Transfer Center (VHATTC) was founded at Hanoi Medical University in 2011.

Workshop on methadone maintenance treatment

Only 22,000 patients from 38 cities and provinces received methadone maintenance treatment by November 15, 2014, Nguyen Hoang Long, head of the Ministry of Health’s HIV/AIDS Prevention Department said in a workshop on the implementation of methadone maintenance treatment in Hanoi on November 20.

The event, aiming to assess the reality of drug use and access to methadone programmes, is part of a project run by the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA) and the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Long said this late implementation was due to local reliance on the Central agencies’ support, as well as a lack of local concern and human resources development. He added that relevant agencies should mobilise and encourage social organisations to get involved.

Administrative processes should be simplified to create favourable conditions for patients, he highlighted.

Most of the interviewed patients spoke highly of the methadone programme; however, treating addiction faces a number of problems, such as the increasing number of people using synthetic drugs, and lacking access to methadone programmes in some localities, a representative from Hai Phong said.

A number of issues were discussed at the workshop which included the legislative framework for alternative treatment using methadone, addiction treatment in the community and barriers in the access to methadone treatment.

Methadone, primarily used in World War II to relieve pain, is a long acting synthetic opiate with pharmacological effects similar to morphine. It was discovered as a treatment to help drug addicts stop using heroin by Dr Marie Nyswander and Dr Vincent Dole in 1964.

Clam farmers to pay protection fee

Clam co-operatives have been asked to pay a fee to protect mangrove forests that play an important role in white-clam breeding in the Mekong Delta.

"Mangrove forests have reduced tidal erosion for alluvial ground and transformed organic matter into fresh food for clams. They have also reduced organic pollution from domestic aquaculture and agriculture," said Professor Hoang Nghia Son, head of the Institute of Tropical Biology, who spoke at a conference held in HCM City last week.

"More than anyone else, farmers who breed clams should bear the responsibility to protect, plant and take care of mangrove forests," he added.

The conference, which discussed the linkages between clam breeding and mangrove forests, was held to build the first stage for Payment for Forest Environmental Services (PFES) policy, which would require clam co-operatives to pay an annual fee to protect and develop mangrove forests.

Clam breeding has yielded a significant income for residents, providing around VND100,000 (US$5) per day.

There are nearly 94,000ha of mangrove forest in the Mekong Delta and 150,000ha around the country, and over 2,100 clam grounds in the delta area.

"Many farmers don't recognize the benefits from mangrove forests for clams, and this national conference is necessary to build a policy," said Andrew Wyatt, Mekong Delta program manager at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The conference was organized by the Institute of Tropical Biology, IUCN and Mangroves for Future.

Attending were more than 100 delegates, including scientists, representatives from the clam co-operatives and Mekong Delta provinces' departments of Agriculture and Rural Development and Science and Technology, and management boards of national parks.
