VTV.vn - Following phase One, with a budget of €39 million, the European – funded Health Sector Policy Support Program has moved to phase Two, providing a support budget valued at €114 million.

In order to effectively implement the fund, a workshop was held in Hanoi this morning, held by the EU Delegation to Vietnam, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Finance. The Workshop familiarized related parties with the content of the Phase Two Contract, disbursement criteria, and operational modality.
