The Deputy PM also thanked the fund for assisting Vietnam in conducting projects on preventing and controlling HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and dengue fever thus far, improving public health in Vietnam.
The fund has provided over 250 million USD to Vietnam and committed to offering an additional 173 million USD to fight these diseases between 2014 and 2017, he noted.
For his part, Weber pledged that the Global Fund will continue giving Vietnam financial, professional and technical support in preventing and combating HIV/AIDS.
