Status
The Vietnamese economy remained strong through 1994 and 1995, and the macro-economic growth rates have exceeded targets set for the last five year plan from 1991-1995. During this period, the Vietnamese economy has moved from recession to a position of relative strength, providing the foundations for a new stage in Vietnam's development process.
The living standards of the population, especially those in some rural and mountainous areas, however, are still very low and are improving too slowly.

Programmes and Projects
Remarkable efforts and achievements have been achieved in the health care system in terms of preventive health, including the successful implementation of the child care and protection programme, disease protection, increasing the proportion of the population with access to clean water, improved access to health services at communes and locals, especially in rural and mountainous areas.
Status
Some national health centres and leading provincial and municipal hospitals have been upgraded and re-equipped. The health insurance system has been expanded, and partial cost recovery policies in hospitals have contributed to improved financing of health centre operations.

Status
Economic development and new initiatives in solving social problems have contributed to improvements in incomes and living standards across all population strata in all regions, but the distribution of these benefits has not been equal. In the whole country, about 80 per cent of households now enjoy better living conditions than in 1990. The number of poor households has been reduced. Periods of hunger between harvests have been abolished in many localities.
