Speaking at the conference, Ms. Vo Thi Ngoc Lam, Deputy Director of Dong Nai Provincial Department of Health, acknowledged the efforts and positive results of grassroots health units in recent times, and requested the units to focus on synchronously implementing tasks, striving to comprehensively complete the goals set in 2025, especially the national target programs on nutrition, population and reproductive health.

Regarding finance, units need to allocate reasonably and disburse funds on schedule according to the approved plan, ensuring efficiency and timeliness in professional work.
