Currently, the country has 12 specialized medical training facilities under the Ministry of Health and 9 multidisciplinary schools (including 5 private schools).

In the North, many public universities train in Medicine, including Hanoi Medical University, Hai Duong Medical Technical University, Thai Binh Medical University, Hai Phong Medical University, and Thai Nguyen Medical and Pharmaceutical University.

In terms of quantity, our country only has 7.8 doctors/10,000 people, while this ratio in developed countries is 20 - 60 doctors/10,000 people.

Recently, the Ministry of Education and Training allowed Hanoi University of Business and Technology to provide full-time training in General Medicine and Pharmacy. However, this decision of the Ministry of Education and Training has not received public consensus.

On the afternoon of December 2, the Government Office issued an official dispatch conveying the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam regarding the Ministry of Education and Training coordinating with the Ministry of Health to re-evaluate the conditions for opening this major at this school.
