FPT Proposes Public-Private Partnership Model to Develop Vietnam's Digital Healthcare Ecosystem
The Forum was attended by Vietnam Deputy PM H.E. Le Thanh Long, key government officials, and international guests including U.S. Ambassador Marc Knapper, Swiss Ambassador Thomas Gass, former German Vice Chancellor Dr. Philipp Rösler, and representatives from Japan, Singapore, and Harvard Medical School.
Vietnam Deputy PM H.E. Le Thanh Long stressed the urgent need to reform healthcare, outlining five strategies: accelerate digitalization with AI and IoT; boost biotech research; strengthen the pharmaceutical sector; foster public–private partnerships; and expand international cooperation for a modern digital health system.
Mr. Darrell Oh, Chairman of Pharma Group, said: 'Pharma Group, representing the innovative pharmaceutical industry, reaffirms its commitment to supporting Vietnam in achieving the goals outlined in Vision 2045. Realizing this ambition requires a unified, multi-stakeholder approach. Only through sustained collaboration can policy be translated into impactful, lasting improvements in public health. Investing in healthcare is, ultimately, an investment in Vietnam's most vital asset: its people.'
Dr. Truong Gia Binh, FPT Chairman, stated: 'To accompany Vietnam's new era of advancement, the healthcare sector must achieve breakthroughs in three areas: regulation, innovation, and public–private collaboration. We must shift from restrictive thinking to viewing regulation as a driver of national competitiveness, ensuring faster access to new medicines, like in the U.S. or Japan. Vietnam can become a hub for AI-powered clinical trials and drug development, leveraging its strong tech talent with 1 million IT workers, aiming for half to be AI-proficient. Public–private partnerships must connect hospitals, pharmaceutical firms, and healthcare professionals through shared data platforms. Just as Vietnam rose to global prominence in software, it can now aim to lead in innovative pharmaceuticals - one of the world's most advanced industries.'
AI in Pharma: A Global Trend and an Opportunity for Vietnam
Recent data shows 80% of pharma professionals use AI for drug discovery, with 95% of companies investing in it; and AI can cut drug development time from 5-6 years to one. In clinical trials, AI can reduce costs by 70% and timelines by 80%.
Mr. Hoang Viet Anh, FPT Digital Chairman and FPT Telecom Chairman, FPT Corporation, underscored: 'AI and GenAI are transforming the pharmaceutical industry, with key benefits including accelerating new drug development and enhancing clinical trials across the value chain.' He also called this a key moment for digital transformation, outlining an AI roadmap for Vietnam's pharmaceutical sector through 2028. Plans include a centralized data system and AI lab pilots in 2025, blockchain trials in 2026 to fight counterfeit drugs, and a 20% reduction in drug trial time by 2027, aiming to become ASEAN's leading AI hub by 2028.
Achieving Resolution 57 and National Goals for Healthcare Breakthroughs
As Vietnam pursues its 2045 high-income vision, healthcare emerges as a key pillar for quality of life, social security, and sustainable growth. The round table discussing critical factors to achieve Resolution 57 objectives emphasized three key messages. Firstly, AI and big data drive healthcare innovation, enabling faster drug development and personalized care. Secondly, bold legal and institutional reforms are essential to match tech advances, including streamlined approvals and flexible data regulations. Lastly, strong public-private collaboration is vital to build a sustainable innovation ecosystem connecting tech firms, hospitals, research institutes, and startups.
Mr. Vu Anh Tu, FPT Chief Technology Officer, commented: 'AI is set to transform healthcare, and by creating a centralized health data infrastructure and leveraging AI and data analysis for new drug trials, Vietnam can establish advanced clinical research centers, shorten timelines, reduce costs, and expand public access to new medicines. Technology can also enable new healthcare delivery models like telemedicine hospitals to improve primary healthcare and expand public access.'
He further stated: 'FPT is ready to collaborate with startups, major enterprises, and global AI research institutions to address key challenges through AI. This approach will mobilize domestic and international resources to drive breakthroughs in this new era.'

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HelloFresh, the world's leading meal kit provider, and No Kid Hungry, a campaign focused on ending childhood hunger, announced today the 'Hunger Hero' campaign to raise awareness of rising hunger across the US. The meal kit brand is tapping celebrated online chefs and dedicated hunger relief advocates, including Tini Younger, Eitan Bernath and Becca and Justin Schwartz, to serve as ambassadors of the campaign and raise awareness of childhood food insecurity during the summer months, inspiring others to join in the cause. In the US, 1 in 5 kids face hunger. This staggering reality is only heightened during the summer months. Share In the US, 1 in 5 kids face hunger. This staggering reality is only heightened during the summer months when kids are out of school and lose access to the dependable nutrition they get at school during the academic year. Impending cuts to SNAP and other critical programs, coupled with a looming crisis for food banks, threaten to make the issue even worse. Galvanizing Hunger Heroes to Help Fight Food Insecurity Through a combination of social- and event-led initiatives, the Hunger Hero campaign will provide individuals with a call-to-action to help address childhood hunger in their own communities. HelloFresh kicks off the program today with a series of distribution events in New York City, NY; Atlanta, GA; and Phoenix, AZ where families can access free HelloFresh meal kits filled with nutritious, family-friendly recipes, along with vital resources on summer EBT, SNAP benefits and information on where to access support through No Kid Hungry. Each event will be joined by a notable 'Hunger Hero,' an influencer, chef, and or 'foodie' who is actively committed to fighting food insecurity in their own communities. Tini Younger, who volunteers in her own backyard at Atlanta Mission, Eitan Bernath, a high-level supporter of the United Nations World Food Programme; and Becca and Justin Schwartz, who actively volunteer with Feed My Starving Children by hosting community volunteer events with their followers, will all serve as Hunger Heroes, providing assistance and awareness about the issue. Beyond hosting these events, each Hunger Hero will call upon their followers to commit to fighting hunger — whether through donating to No Kid Hungry, volunteering at a local food bank or even simply raising awareness in their own communities. For every like, share, or comment on campaign-related posts, HelloFresh will make a donation to No Kid Hungry in support of their vital work feeding families year-round up to $10,000 from June through August. The meal kit brand will also be running a social media campaign spotlighting everyday hunger heroes — including food bank leaders and educators — to spotlight the important work they do every day and inspire the brand's followers to join in the cause. 'From my time volunteering at Atlanta Mission, I've met many families trying their best, but struggling to put meals on the table,' said viral chef Tini Younger. 'Fighting food insecurity is deeply important to me. Being a part of this campaign is not just about food. It's about dignity, joy and the chance for kids to be kids.' 'Every day, we're witnessing more families struggling with hunger — and during the summer months, the need becomes even more urgent,' said Adam Kalikow, Senior Vice President and Managing Director at HelloFresh US. 'That's why we're doubling down on our efforts to help close the summer hunger gap. By partnering with some notable 'hunger heroes' like Tini, Eitan, Becca and Justin, we're able to bring more attention to this growing issue while making a tangible impact.

New Study from Marathon Health Reveals Advanced Primary Care Yields Immediate ROI and Curbs Acute Care Use
INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marathon Health, a leading provider of advanced primary care (APC) for employers and unions across the United States, has released a new large-scale claims study showing that APC — starting in year 1 of an employer's investment — significantly reduces health care costs, as employees engage in more preventive care and less acute/specialty care. The findings arrive at a critical moment: The 2025 Milliman Medical Index reports health care costs for a family of four have reached $35,119 in the typical employer-sponsored health plan, up 188% over the 20 years of the study. This far outpaces wage growth and inflation, putting increasing pressure on employee and plan sponsor budgets. 'Advanced primary care is a 21st-century approach rooted in decades of evidence,' says Dr. Nirav Vakharia, chief health officer at Marathon Health and a practicing primary care physician. 'For more than 50 years, research has shown that strong primary care leads to better clinical outcomes, less unnecessary utilization, and lower costs. What sets advanced primary care apart is that it doesn't reinvent the fundamentals — it delivers them with greater consistency through timely access, continuity between patients and providers, and whole-person care. That's how we create a health care system that truly works for working Americans.' Part of Marathon Health's ongoing and rigorous assessment of return on investment (ROI), the study examined over 3 million medical claim records across two cohorts — 89,000 members among 29 sponsors over five years; 224,000 members among 60 sponsors — via a methodology independently assessed by Milliman. Key findings under the most conservative of assumptions, including around engagement rates, show: Marathon Health's APC model pays for itself in the first year and delivers 3.7x ROI by year 5 Engaged members utilize more preventive care and less downstream acute care, and have: 21% lower claims costs 82% higher primary care utilization 15% fewer emergency room visits 41% fewer inpatient admissions The results reinforce APC's power to reduce unnecessary or avoidable high-cost care by encouraging prevention and early intervention — and employers have taken note. Advanced primary care adoption is rapidly accelerating: 76% of purchasers are currently offering APC or are considering adoption within the next 1-3 years, according to the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions. Marathon Health will be hosting a public webinar on the study and its implications on June 26, 2025.
