Ministry of Health of Viet Nam (copy hosted by Đắk Lắk Department of Health): Decision 5628/QĐ-BYT (2021): Project to improve odonto-stomatology treatment capacity and oral-health care 2021-2030. Registry entry: vn-moh-qd5628.
Notes
No reliable figure found. Checked: MOH Decision 5628/QĐ-BYT (2021) Đề án nâng cao năng lực khám chữa bệnh RHM 2021-2030, FDI NLO reports, WHO GHO HWF_0012 (no VNM data). Why: Viet Nam has no separately registered dental hygienist profession; Decision 5628 plans to open a new 'cử nhân điều dưỡng nha khoa' (dental nursing bachelor) training code and to define its scope of practice, i.e. the cadre did not yet exist in 2021. Chairside staff are nurses (điều dưỡng RHM) and 'y sĩ' grades. Best lead: MOH Health Statistics Yearbook (điều dưỡng/kỹ thuật viên by specialty), MOET list of programmes with code for dental nursing.
Metric definition
