Docquity and HCDC Launch Partnership to Boost Preventive Medicine Education in Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City, Monday, 6 January 2025.
Docquity has teamed up with HCDC to enhance preventive medicine education for over 3,000 healthcare professionals in Vietnam, leveraging digital platforms for improved healthcare delivery.
Strategic Partnership Formation
The groundbreaking collaboration, officially launched on January 5, 2025, marks a significant milestone in Vietnam’s healthcare education landscape [1][2]. The three-year agreement, signed by Dr. Spec II. Nguyen Hong Tam, Director of HCDC, and Christophe Meugnier, CCO and General Manager of Docquity Vietnam & Thailand, aims to revolutionize preventive medicine education [1]. This initiative will leverage Docquity’s digital platform to reach healthcare professionals across various specialties, including preventive medicine, family medicine, general medicine, internal medicine, nutrition, nursing, and public health [2].
Digital Innovation in Healthcare Education
The partnership will establish a dedicated scientific information channel on Docquity’s platform, providing continuous professional development resources [6]. This digital approach aligns with modern healthcare education needs, utilizing Docquity’s extensive reach as Southeast Asia’s largest community of verified healthcare professionals, currently serving over 410,000 HCPs across the region [1]. The platform will focus on delivering up-to-date preventive medicine information and best practices to enhance healthcare delivery efficiency [2][6].
Impact and Future Prospects
HCDC’s involvement brings substantial expertise in preventive medicine, building on its establishment in 2019 through the merger of seven specialized centers for preventive medicine in Ho Chi Minh City [1]. The collaboration aims to strengthen Vietnam’s healthcare system by improving preventive strategies and professional knowledge sharing [6]. As highlighted by Christophe Meugnier, ‘Accessible HCP education is fundamental to addressing major public health challenges and building resilient communities’ [1].
Implementation and Goals
The initiative sets ambitious targets to benefit over 3,000 healthcare professionals over the three-year period [1][2]. This aligns with HCDC’s broader mission of enhancing public health management and executing medical services in Ho Chi Minh City [1]. The partnership builds on HCDC’s strengthened capacity following Decision No. 102/QD-UBND, signed on January 11, 2023, which aimed to enhance the center’s capabilities in addressing current and future health challenges [1][6].
