Message from CHD Center Director

On behalf of the Center for health consultation and community development (CHD), I would like to thank the continuous efforts and the close cooperation of our colleagues with CHD. In

In 2019, we have made great strides to improve the health of the community in particular and the country’s socio-economic development in general. I hope these efforts will help us gain more experience in the next plan and open up new partnerships in the future.

Through building a smoke-free environment model at Western Bus Station and Saigon Bus, the project has inspired many people and since then the community has spoken out for a healthy, smoke-free environment. Still, the project is new and I believe we have to work even more closely in the coming years.

Malaria has been a public health problem for many years, but its new problem is that drug resistance puts us at a major challenge in the prevention and treatment of this disease in the community. Many organizations and networks have worked together to build and support local core forces from village health care to community people, which is a basis for us to believe in the goal of elimination. malaria by 2030.

In addition, health care issues for workers such as eye care, improving knowledge and skills in HIV prevention and sexually transmitted infections are still receiving many positive results. pole under the efforts of the company/factory and technical support from the Center.

Although there are regulations and policies related to occupational health and safety for workers, currently no specific policies or guidelines regarding eye care. It is therefore essential to examine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of factory workers regarding eye care as well as the impact of working conditions on eye health. The survey objectives included: assessment of knowledge, attitudes and practices of eye care for workers in the two factories, eye health care seeking behaviours, their needs and their accessibility to quality onsite eye care services and a description of asscociations between KAP and as well as workplace conditions and eye disease prevelance among workers in the two factories. Based on the results of this survey, interventions will be proposed to develop the best eye care model for most workers so that they can be replicated to similar companies. Since then, it has contributed to reducing the preventable blindness for workers in the two factories in particular and workers in general.

The data collection was carried out at 2 factories of Rieker and Foster in Vietnam, from the 1^st to 12^th August, 2017. A total number of 849 staff and workers of the two companies were interviewed in the survey.
