Health Is Shaped by More Than Healthcare
Health and well-being are influenced by social connection, physical activity, financial circumstances, housing, purpose, community participation, and many other factors beyond clinical care.
Social prescribing helps create structured connections between people, health and care services, and appropriate community-based support.
Social prescribing cannot simply be transferred from one health system to another. We focus on understanding local needs and community assets, adapting relevant international learning to the Vietnamese context, strengthening implementation capability, and generating locally relevant evidence through practice and evaluation.
We bring together relevant international evidence, implementation experience, and emerging insights while supporting the development of locally grounded knowledge for social prescribing in Viet Nam.
We welcome collaboration with healthcare organizations, universities, researchers, community and civil society organizations, public health and social care stakeholders, and international partners interested in the responsible development of social prescribing in Viet Nam.
