On July 02, Fulbright University Vietnam welcomed a diverse class of 40 students to its eight-week pilot English language immersion class in Ho Chi Minh City.

Social health insurance (SHI) has played a key role in the successful transition of Vietnam’s HIV response from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to local support. As local governments, organizations and people living with HIV assume greater responsibility paying for HIV services, improving SHI and HIV service efficiency are vital.
