In Vietnam, the SUNI-SEA project has implemented NCD intervention activities in seven districts of Ninh Binh province and Hai Phong city. A synergy model was used to promote coordination between Commune Health Stations (CHSs) in communes, wards, and towns and Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs (ISHCs) in hypertension and diabetes prevention and management.
This brief presents the synergy model in Vietnam, intervention activities and results, gaps in the implementation and recommendations to strengthen synergies between primary healthcare providers and communities for the prevention and control of hypertension and diabetes.
