60HN – ASPARNet Final Meeting: Strengthening Collaborative Networks for Antimicrobial Stewardship and Sustainable Development in Vietnam

On July 16, 2026, the Final Network Meeting of hospitals implementing Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) programme under the 60HN–ASPARNet project was held at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases (NHTD). The meeting brought together the leadership of NHTD, representatives from the Department of Health of Dong Thap and Phu Tho provinces, leaders from the 12 network hospitals, experts from NHTD, Hanoi University of Pharmacy, Vietnam National Children’s Hospital, the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU), as well as project partners and research staff. The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on ASPARNet implementation across Phu Tho and Dong Thap provinces, share lessons learned, assess the project’s initial impact, and discuss strategies for sustaining and expanding the network in the future.

iSHARP – Integrated Stewardship in Hospitals for Antimicrobial Resistance Control Platform

Hospital-acquired infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remain major challenges for the healthcare system in Viet Nam. Although the Ministry of Health has issued multiple national strategies and guidelines on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), infection prevention and control (IPC), and AMR surveillance up to 2030, implementation at provincial and district hospitals still faces certain challenges, particularly in the context of uneven resources and infrastructure. In practice, hospitals already operate multiple data systems that mainly serve specific professional purposes; as a result, data connectivity and integrated use across systems have not yet been fully harmonized or optimized.

In hospitals, ensuring high-quality treatment is always a top priority so that patients receive safe and effective care. To maintain this standard, routinely reviewing the treatment process is essential, helping hospitals promptly identify areas that may need adjustment and continuously improve the way care is delivered.
