Thousands of chief nurses and medical staff nationwide will participate in home and abroad intensive training courses in the next three years, with financial support from Viet Nam’s largest dairy producer Vinamilk.
This move is a key part of the strategic cooperation agreement jointly signed by Vinamilk, CHR Hansen Holding, one of the world's leading nutrition groups from Denmark, and the Vietnam Chief Nursing Club earlier this month.
After the training courses, the trainees will give nutritional healthcare for millions of children and the elderly in Viet Nam.
The training programme will this year kick off with an intensive training series, themed “Prevention and control of Sars-Cov-2 infection, the role of nutrition in health promotion and disease prevention”, held in Ha Noi, HCM City and Hue City in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue. Nearly 600 members from frontline hospitals will participate in this programme, focusing on strengthening disease prevention, improving resistance and digestive system for children and the elderly.
According to Chairman of the Vietnam Chief Nursing Club Hoang Van Thanh Vinamilk is a leading nutrition company in Viet Nam and belongs to the Top 50 largest dairy companies in the world, with many strengths in research and applications of advanced nutritional solutions reaching international standards in nutritional products for Vietnamese people.
“We believe that accompanying Vinamilk in the next three years will help the club members bring great benefits in improving the quality of clinical nutritional healthcare, thereby helping to take care of nutritional health for millions of people, especially children and the elderly,” Thanh said.

At the event, Vinamilk and CHR Hansen Holding signed a strategic cooperation agreement in the 2020-22 period, that aims to pioneer the application of advanced Probiotic strains, with clinical evidence and European standards, helping Vinamilk strengthen resistance and digestive system in its products.

These efforts have helped Vinamilk gain the trust of consumers. Vinamilk is also the brand most chosen by Vietnamese consumers for eight consecutive years from 2013 to 2020 according to the Kantar Worldpanel's 2020 Brand Footprint report.
Over 44 years of establishment and development, Vinamilk continues to affirm the number one brand in the baby formula market in Viet Nam according to market research by Nielsen, with its advanced product lines: Organic Gold, Yoko Gold, Optimum Gold, Dielac Grow Plus, Dielac Alpha Gold and Sure Prevent Gold.
CEO of Vinamilk Marketing Phan Minh Tien said Vinamilk always attached great importance to strategic cooperation with leading nutrition corporations in the world such as CHR Hansen Holding (Denmark), DSM (Switzerland) and Dupont (United States).
Tien said Vinamilk's domestic and international strategic partnerships were part of the effort to help Vinamilk fulfill the company's mission for many years.
“Vinamilk always strives to apply the world's leading nutritional technologies and solutions, constantly improving product quality for the outstanding development of children as well as the health of millions of Vietnamese families,” Tien said.
