Strengthening Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH): CME Training for HCPs in Hanoi

At DKT MEKONG – Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, we are driven by a profound mission to ensure information, education and resources are available so everyone can make an informed decision about their SRH and lives.

As the demand for provider-controlled SRH methods and safe abortion services rises in Vietnam, it has become increasingly important to ensure healthcare providers (HCPs) are equipped with the necessary skills to deliver the best possible care. Recognizing this need, DKT Mekong joined hands with the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NHOG) to organize a Continuing Medical Education (CME) training program on November 28th and 29th in Hanoi.

This program focused on building proficiency in MVA techniques and IUD insertion/removal, bringing together 50 healthcare providers from NHOG and neighboring provinces. Approved by the MoH, this training ensures that participants who successfully complete the program will receive official CME certification endorsed by MoH.

With a curriculum spanning two days, the program offered both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice to develop confidence and skills with:

🌟 Ipas MVA: A portable, hand-held device for uterine evacuation, miscarriage management, post-abortion care, and endometrial biopsy registered in over 100 countries (including USA, UK, Japan, Australia, EU) and used for the past 40+ years.
🌟 newCHOICE Copper IUD: A long-acting, reversible, non-hormonal contraceptive solution providing peace of mind with reduced side effects and low-maintanence for up to 10 years.

The training was led by esteemed medical experts and included interactive activities to help participants gain practical experience in a controlled setting.

Beyond education, DKT Mekong showcased our dedication to healthcare providers by offering product samples to enhance their learning and clinical practice. Additionally, and to ensure HCPs have the full basket of SRH products, participants also received samples of other popular DKT brands: Fiesta and OK condoms, and newChoice Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCs) and Emergency Contraception (EC).

This CME training in Hanoi marks another step in our journey toward improving lives through contraception and family planning. Looking ahead, we’re excited to sponsor another CME training session on December 12th and 13th for a new group of 50 HCPs.

At DKT Mekong, we believe in transforming lives by empowering healthcare providers with the tools and knowledge they need to make a difference in their communities. Together with our partners, we are shaping a future where sexual and reproductive health is accessible, safe, and affordable for all, in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and beyond.
