VN006: A locally-based individual film producer to support WHO Viet Nam in developing a number of videos to deliver a wide range of important health messages

Background

The WHO in Viet Nam has been working closely with the Ministry of Health and key partners, for a healthier and safer Viet Nam. In 2024 and beyond, WHO will support the MOH in five strategic areas including: 1. building a stronger legal system towards the goal of advancing universal health coverage; 2. creating a stronger more integrated primary healthcare system; 3. strengthening national capacities in health emergency preparedness, readiness response, and recovery; 4. reducing risk factors for NCDs and injuries; and 5. building a health sector that is more climate-change resilient and environmentally sustainable.

During the implementation of these activities, in particular regarding primary health care, routine immunization, health security, reducing health risk factors and climate change, short videos can contribute significantly to both highlighting the importance of the work, donor and partner contributions and in influencing healthier outcomes through storytelling.
