The event, held by the Ministry of Health and the United Nations Population Fund, was one of the activities in response to World Population Day, July 11^th. In Vietnam, the key measures for effective population and family planning are communication and providing reproductive health care to the people. But overpopulation and reproductive health still remain challenges to Vietnam’s development.
