Cooperation in the medical sector between Vietnam and Angola

Abstract

Vietnam and Angola have established official diplomatic relations since November 12, 1975. After 47 years of cooperation, Angola has become one of the important partners of Vietnam in the African region. Medical cooperation between the two countries has been established since the signing of the Agreement on Cooperation in the health sector in 1984. By analysing the relevant sources of documents, the research aims to evaluate the status of medical cooperation between the two countries in areas such as exchange of experts, medical equipment support, and cooperation in disease prevention and control, thereby drawing out lessons learned about the potential of cooperation between Vietnam and Angola in the future. At present, the Angolan government is still in need of expanding and
further promoting cooperation in the exchange of medical experts, mobilising the support of medical equipment
and disease prevention and control from Vietnam. In the coming time, if barriers can be minimised and potentials
and prospects can be promoted, bilateral cooperation in the healthcare sector will be more successful.
