Vietnam's close proximity to China where the COVID-19 outbreak started made it one of the countries expected to have widespread transmission of the virus. However, the country opposed this expectation and attained low spread of COVID-19 infection due to its proactive approaches in containing the disease. As of March 11, 2021, Vietnam has a total of 2529 confirmed cases, equivalent to 26 cases per one million population-compared to the global rate of 15,223 cases. The low-cost model approach used by Vietnam in dealing with previous public health issues, tackle the importance of a strategic public health system, good governance, and citizen cooperation in the fight against COVID 19 pandemic. This paper aims to analyze Vietnam's achievement in its early and continued success in combating COVID-19 by taking into account various aspects of its health system and experience on outbreaks that have previously occurred and how these can be applied to current COVID-19 responses.
越南与新冠疫情发源地中国距离很近,这使其成为预计病毒会广泛传播的国家之一。然而,该国打破了这一预期,由于其在控制疫情方面采取了积极措施,新冠病毒感染的传播率较低。截至2021年3月11日,越南共有2529例确诊病例,相当于每百万人口中有26例——相比之下,全球确诊率为每百万人口15223例。越南在应对以往公共卫生问题时采用的低成本模式方法,凸显了战略公共卫生系统、良好治理以及公民合作在抗击新冠疫情中的重要性。本文旨在通过考虑越南卫生系统的各个方面以及以往疫情爆发的经验,分析越南在抗击新冠疫情初期及持续取得成功的情况,以及这些经验如何应用于当前对新冠疫情的应对。
