Hoang Van Minh
Minh is currently working at the Hanoi University of Public Health as Associate Professor, Vice Rector, and Director of the Center for Population Health Sciences. An expert on Viet Nam’s healthcare system, Minh publishes widely in national and international scientific journals and has contributed to research studies on health and healthcare in Viet Nam; his research has focused on a range of topics, including the social determinants of health, non-communicable diseases, and universal health coverage.
Minh is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Health and Development Studies and is especially interested in socio-economic inequities in health in Viet Nam.
A number of his research projects have shown that progress in reducing health and health care inequities has significantly improved in recent years but still requires further attention, especially health and healthcare for ethnic minority populations, worse-off groups (including the poor and informal sector workers), and the elderly. Previously, Minh was Vice Dean of the Hanoi School of Public Health and Vice Head of the Department of Health Economics, Institute of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University.
