CALL FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICE

A national consultant to support the General Department of Preventive Medicine (GDPM)

in the development of guidance toward sustaining preventive health services**
Background:The global LHSS project helps low
- and middle-income countries transition to sustainable, self-funded health finance systems that support high-performing overall health systems. The LHSS activity in Vietnam will work with the Government of Vietnam (GVN) to advance greater local ownership of HIV and TB prevention and control. Led by Abt Associates, the four-year activity will support Vietnam in increasing its domestic financing for HIV and TB services in the context of declining donor funding, using government resources more efficiently, and assuming local ownership of HIV and TB prevention and control activities.

Specific objectives are:
(1) Support the GVN to strengthen its public financial management systems for public sector health and find greater efficiencies in social health insurance (SHI), (2) Increase and improve the efficiency of domestic financing of HIV prevention and treatment services; (3) Strengthen the capacity of Vietnam's supply chain management system; and (4) Transition of TB services into SHI.


Over the past 15 years, the implementation of the Law on Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases has revealed both achievements and shortcomings.

These shortcomings include policy-related obstacles and outdated provisions that no longer align with practical needs, requiring revision and supplementation.

To address these issues and align with the directives of the Central Party, National Assembly, Government, and Prime Minister, a new law is under development.

This law aims to fill legal gaps, enhance preventive measures, and improve healthcare, especially the inclusion of provisions on ensuring financial resources for preventive health.

To date, the GDPM as the focal point department under the MOH leadership, has submitted to the Government a proposal to develop the Disease Prevention Law and proposed its inclusion in the Law and Development Program of the National Assembly in 2025.

The intended plan is to hear consideration and feedback on the draft law at the 10th meeting session of the 15th National Assembly cycle in October 2025, and to pass the draft law at the 11th meeting session in May 2026.


In addition, the GDPM is the lead department for the development of economic-technical norms for medical inspection and preventive health services at public health facilities, including TB and HIV.

At this stage, the GDPM has requested focal point department under the Ministry of Health to propose respective services along with economic-technical norms, and professional procedures for these services, totaling 1,548 services.


In alignment with LHSS's role to support the development of a broader preventive health services package to be delivered through the primary health care network and recommended public services for use with GVN funding, LHSS will mobilize a national consultant to provide technical support to the GDPM in the implementation of the above-mentioned activities on health prevention including TB and HIV.
