According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in three people worldwide (2.41 billion people) could benefit from rehabilitation (such as physical and occupational therapy or speech and language therapy) at some point in their illness or injury.<\/em><\/p>\n

*According to the 2019 Housing and Population Census by the General Statistic Office (GSO), Vietnamese population has entered the so-called \u201caging phase\u201d since 2011, and is one of the countries with highest rate of population aging. Currently, approximately 12 million Vietnamese people are at the age of 60 and above, accounting for 13% of the population. The percentage of people over the age of 60 is expected to rise to 23 million in 2053, accounting for 20% of the population.<\/em><\/p>\n

*Concurrently, the increase of non-communicable diseases (stroke, heart diseases, etc) and injuries are leading to the increase of demand for rehabilitation.<\/em><\/p>\n

*Also according to GSO, in Vietnam, 80% of persons with disabilities live in rural areas, causing difficult in accessing to Rehabilitation services.<\/em><\/p>\n

*In order to tackle the aforementioned issues, rehabilitation services must be provided at multi-disciplinary health facilities, especially those in province and district levels. However, Vietnam\u2019s rehabilitation workforce are still in shortage. Therefore, continuing education, short-term in-service training are essential solution to timely fill in the gap of rehabilitation workforce in Vietnam.\/.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
