Participant at the workshop on Precision Medicine trend: Application updates in Diagnostic Imaging
Nestled within the highlands of northern Vietnam, Ha Giang emerges as a majestic mountainous expanse with rugged terrains and several pockets of underdevelopment. Its remote location presents significant challenges for transportation, particularly in accessing emergency medical care for both residents and visiting tourists. Despite witnessing notable progress in infrastructure and resources over recent years, the healthcare system in Ha Giang continues to grapple with limitations, particularly in its capacity to serve the needs of this province.
