Viêt Nam Needs more and better-trained nurses to meet growing healthcare demands
The Statesman Kolkata
|November 13, 2025
Nurses play a crucial role in Viet Nam’s healthcare system.
-
However, the country is currently facing shortages in both quantity and professional structure, as well as in qualifications, compared to actual needs and to regional and global standards.
Viet Nam currently has about 140,000-150,000 nurses, equivalent to roughly 14-15 nurses per 10,000 people, among the lowest ratios in ASEAN.
By comparison, Thailand has around 20-25 nurses per 10,000 people, Malaysia 30-35, Singapore over 70, and OECD countries average between 80 and 120 nurses per 10,000 people. This is a considerable gap that must be narrowed in the coming years. The Party's Resolution No 20 has set clear targets that by 2025, Viet Nam should reach 25 nurses per 10,000 people, and by 2030, 33 per 10,000.
