In Nghe An, in recent times, population communication work has achieved many important results with many innovations in implementation forms and attracted tens of thousands of participants. Many good models and advanced examples have been maintained and replicated, creating a deep spread in the community and the whole society.

However, to achieve the goal of reducing the birth rate of the third child or more, reducing gender imbalance at birth, and achieving replacement fertility in the next 10 years, communication work must be the top priority.

Commenting on the draft project, at the meeting, many opinions said that in order to carry out population work according to Resolution No. 21 in the new situation, propaganda work needs to be adjusted to meet the new goals, requirements, and tasks.

In addition, some delegates said that it is necessary to further describe the current population situation, especially the population targets that the province has not achieved, in relation to the whole country to correctly assess the situation. Along with that, it is necessary to review the tasks and solutions to be accurate, correct, and clear for implementation. Pay more attention to the population of specific areas to have appropriate communication solutions...

Concluding the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Bui Dinh Long requested the Department of Health, the unit drafting the Project, to accept and make it concise, clear, and highlight the necessity of issuing the Project; consider including the ratio in the general target. Along with that, the tasks and solutions need to be arranged more scientifically to avoid duplication.

The meeting also agreed on the content of the draft Project to be submitted to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and approval at the next regular meeting.
