Summary:

The Partnership for Health Advancement in Vietnam (HAIVN), a collaboration between Harvard Medical School (HMS), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), seeks to develop capacity for high quality medical education, medical research and healthcare quality in Vietnam.  HAIVN has been working to improve the health systems in Vietnam since 2003.

HAIVN is implementing two US government funded projects in Vietnam.  Through a cooperative agreement with the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), HAIVN is implementing the project “Building Capacity of the Vietnam Health System through HIV/AIDS Clinical Care Mentorship and Technical Assistance,” focusing on building capacity of Vietnam’s clinical and public health institutions to provide high quality and sustainable HIV care and treatment. In addition, through support from USAID, HAIVN is implementing the project “Improving Access Curriculum and Teaching in Medical education and Emerging Diseases Alliance (IMPACT MED Alliance).” The IMPACT MED Alliance is an alliance of university, public and private sector partners with a diverse set of expertise and resources. The Alliance has a goal to enhance the health workforce to address current and future health challenges by building institutional capacity for medical teaching, learning and innovation, improving knowledge and capacity to respond to emerging pandemic threats, building capacity for leadership, innovation and sustainable change, and increasing diversity and reducing disparities in medical education.
