Patriotic Hygiene Movement to Improve People's Health – A Familiar and Pervasive Mark

In particular, on June 19, 2012, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 730/QD-TTg to designate July 2 every year as “Patriotic Hygiene Day to Improve People's Health”. On November 26, 2012, the Prime Minister issued Directive No. 29/CT-TTg on implementing the Patriotic Hygiene Movement to Improve People's Health, which directed “Implementing the Patriotic Hygiene Movement to Improve People's Health is the responsibility of all levels, sectors, each unit, and each citizen”. The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Health as the focal agency to coordinate with ministries, sectors, and People's Committees of provinces and cities to be responsible for implementing the contents of the Directive.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Lien Huong, the Patriotic Hygiene Movement to improve people's health has entered its 12th year, the name of the Movement has become a familiar mark, bringing about remarkable positive changes.

Over the past years, the Ministry of Health has coordinated with ministries, departments, branches, localities, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations to regularly organize the implementation of the contents of the Movement and launch the campaign in response to the annual “Patriotic Hygiene Day to improve people's health” according to priority topics to solve urgent hygiene issues related to health. The Movement has received consensus and positive response from the people and has achieved many important and encouraging results.

The community's habits and behaviors regarding personal hygiene and environmental sanitation have fundamentally changed: the rate of people washing their hands with soap has doubled after 10 years of implementation; 96% of commune-level health stations have clean water and hygienic toilets, an increase of nearly 12% compared to 2012.

The rate of households with hygienic latrines has reached 82%, in particular, the Northwest, Northeast and Central Highlands are the three regions that have reached over 72% of households with hygienic latrines. The work of ensuring clean water, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, food safety and hygiene, labor hygiene and prevention of occupational diseases, hygiene in medical facilities and educational facilities has been gradually improved. These results have contributed to significantly reducing infectious diseases causing epidemics in our country.

The practical activities of the Movement have also contributed to supporting the achievement of the goals of the National Target Programs on New Rural Construction and related programs and projects at the central and local levels.

In recent times, ensuring clean water supply, environmental sanitation, and waste management in medical facilities have been among the priority activities of the Ministry of Health and localities and are important contents of the Patriotic Hygiene Movement to improve people's health.

After 8 years of implementing the Green – Clean – Beautiful medical facility program, medical facilities across the country have implemented it synchronously, achieving many remarkable results in protecting the environment, reducing hospital infections, creating a comfortable mindset for patients, patients' relatives, medical staff, contributing to improving the quality of medical services and public health.

Most medical examination and treatment facilities across the country have provided enough clean water, have clean toilets, arranged trees, improved the environmental landscape, classified and recycled plastic waste, managed medical waste according to regulations… These achievements, in addition to directly contributing to improving the quality of medical facilities, aiming at patient satisfaction, also create positive impacts for the whole community in terms of hygiene and health promotion.

However, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thi Lien Huong also said that, besides the remarkable results, there are still shortcomings, difficulties and challenges. In fact, people's awareness and practice of hygiene and clean water use are still limited in some regions.

Environmental pollution, climate change, urbanization, and rapid population growth are factors contributing to the emergence of new diseases, increasing the risk of outbreaks of some endemic diseases related to clean water and sanitation such as diarrhea, hand, foot, and mouth disease, encephalitis, and dengue fever, directly affecting people's health. Many of these infectious diseases can be effectively prevented with vaccines and good hygiene habits. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to continue to maintain and widely implement the Patriotic Hygiene Movement to improve people's health in order to implement the teaching of beloved President Ho Chi Minh “Prevention is better than cure”.
