Vietnam and France are joining forces to enhance community health through a new first-aid initiative.
A strategic cooperation agreement was signed in Ho Chi Minh City on June 2. This partnership involves the Urgo Foundation, the Ho Chi Minh City Red Cross Society, and several medical institutions, aiming to establish hundreds of first-aid stations and standardize training for students.

The agreement marks a significant step in improving community health services in Vietnam. By collaborating with the Urgo Foundation, local institutions aim to enhance first-aid capacity across the nation.
