This month's issue of Outlook examines the successes of healthcare reform across the country. We report on expansion of healthcare services in rural provinces such as Cao Bang, where provincial hospital facilities have improved dramatically. Back in the cities, we find that students have also benefited thanks to the reform of health cover in schools.
We weigh up the pros and cons of private and public health clinics, and report that public hospitals often provide the best value for money.
We also explore the challenges still facing the health sector, meet one of Viet Nam's top surgeons working on fixing cleft palates, and take a special look at the plight of the nation's underpaid and overworked nurses.
Elsewhere in this issue, we tour the ancient city of Hue by cyclo, sample a delicious meal of fried worms, and meet a French martial arts champ who is helping popularise kick-boxing in HCM City.
Readers can also catch up on what's hot in the country's culinary, sports and arts scenes – and check out listings for everything from bars to embassies. Outlook retails for VND15,000 at news-stands, major hotels and restaurants and can be purchased at the head office of the Viet Nam News at 11 Tran Hung Dao Street, Ha Noi, or at our HCM City office at 120 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. — VNS
