The training program content is taught in accordance with the documents of the World Health Organization. The treatment and palliative care contents cover all aspects of treatment: from physical, psychological, social to spiritual illnesses of terminal cancer patients.

It is known that treatment and palliative care for cancer patients and HIV/AIDS patients have only recently been focused on research and development in the world. In Vietnam, this program has only been implemented for the past 3 years, but has developed rapidly thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Health and the expert and financial assistance of the World Health Organization.
