Hanoi (VNA) – The Health Department of Hanoi and the Ireard center of France signed a Memoraౠndum of Understanding (MoU) on medical cooperation in Hanoi on January 19.
The MoU is expected to boost bilateral collaboration in transferring technology and training high-quality doctors and nurses at Hanoi hospitals.
