Child injury prevention in Vietnam: achievements and challenges

As with other South Asian countries, injury is becoming a leading cause of death and morbidity among children in Vietnam. In response to the increasing burden of child injury, government and non-government agencies in Vietnam have combined efforts during the last decade to develop and implement various child injury prevention strategies and programmes. This article provides, through a review of relevant documents and interviews with major stakeholders, an overview of these efforts and highlights major challenges to child injury prevention in the country. The findings point to notable achievements in terms of increasing awareness of injury facing children at all levels in the community and developing a sound injury prevention policy framework in a relatively short period of time. However, much needs to be done to implement necessary environmental and legislative changes, strengthen child injury surveillance and injury prevention research; and to improve access to health services. The insight into the experience of Vietnam could benefit other low- and middle-income countries with a high burden of child injury.     

中国经济未老先富——中国经济中长期展望

我的讲话内容主要是对中国经济中长期的看法,短期由于各种调控,股价上下波动很正常,但是从中长期趋势看是向上走的,我主要从以下几个方面进行论述:一是将中国现在的情况和日本七十年代进行对比,发现有很多相似之处,其中包括最重要的方面是产业和出口结构的升级当然还有消费结构的升级;另外,中国和日本也有很多不同的地方,这决定了中国的走势和幅度和日本相比可能有所不同;最后,经济增长主要是生产率的推动.     

中国的利率和汇率问题
