The program – which represents a partnership between TruScreen, Ho Chi Minh City Public Health Association (HPHA), and distributor Gorton Health – is part of a wider government initiative to ensure 60% of women aged 30 to 54 in Vietnam become screened for the cancer.
Right now, that number stands closer to around 25% of all Vietnamese women.
“This program may save the lives of over 2,600 mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, and friends,” TruScreen CEO Marty Dillon said.
“TruScreen was identified as the ideal screening technology for its unique ability to provide accurate, real-time results without the need for any expensive laboratory infrastructure and its portability, which allows for the program to ‘go to the community,’ increasing screening uptake amongst the women of Ho Chi Minh City.”
The three joint parties signed a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding in November 2024, with the program beginning on April 12 in Ho Chi Minh City.
