Vietnam's rapid development is accompanied by a complex shift in its public health landscape. To address this, effective policymaking requires comprehensive, authoritative data on the country's most significant disease burdens. Therefore, we conducted a series of scoping reviews on key public health topics to systematically map existing evidence, identify critical research gaps, and inform evidence-based policy and practice in Vietnam.
This project aims to produce five authoritative scoping reviews and burden analyses that will serve as foundational resources for health policy and research in Vietnam. The targeted areas represent the nation's most urgent health challenges:
An updated review on Cancer control
Cardiovascular Disease
Mental Health
Infertility
Air Pollution
