“Toilet Surprised” – A Bold Check-in, A Viral Moment

Among the most talked-about activities was “Toilet Surprised” – a cheeky, creative photo challenge. Fiesta visuals were playfully placed in every corner of the club’s restrooms, and attendees were invited to snap a selfie with the design, post it online, and drive interactions.

The photo with the most likes and comments won a Fiesta gift combo, making this activation not only fun but also viral – generating memorable buzz across social media.

DKT Mekong’s spreading Love, Enhancing SRH/SH Knowledge for Women in Ha Mo Commune

DKT Mekong’s spreading Love, Enhancing SRH/SH Knowledge for Women in Ha Mo Commune

On March 8, more than 200 women gathered at the Ha Mo Commune Hall (Dan Phuong District, Hanoi) for an informative session on reproductive and sexual health, organized by the Vietnam Family Planning Association in collaboration with DKT Mekong. The event aimed to raise awareness about proactive health management and equip women with essential knowledge for their well-being.

Empowering Women with Knowledge

In her opening remarks, Ms. Dinh Thi Ngan, Vice Chairperson of the Ha Mo Commune People’s Committee, emphasized the importance of reproductive and sexual health education in today’s society. She highlighted that empowering women with knowledge enables them to take better care of their health, ensuring both physical and mental well-being. This, in turn, fosters family happiness and contributes to the nation’s workforce development.

Ms. Dinh Thi Ngan – Vice Chairman of Ha Mo Commune People’s Committee spoke at the conference.

She also encouraged attendees to actively share the knowledge gained at the event with their communities, reinforcing the role of local advocates in spreading awareness about proactive healthcare and reproductive health management.

Expert Insights on Sexual Health and Family Planning

Dr. Mai Trung Son, Head of Communications at the Department of Population under the Ministry of Health, provided valuable insights into sexual health. He explained that sexual activity is a natural human need, fundamental to emotional and physical well-being. In marriage, a healthy sex life enhances intimacy, reduces stress, improves sleep, boosts self-confidence, and strengthens relationships.

However, Dr. Son also addressed the challenges surrounding discussions on sexual health, particularly the stigma that often prevents open conversations. A lack of proper knowledge can lead to unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortion practices, which pose serious health risks such as psychological distress, uterine infections, and in severe cases, fatal complications.

He stressed the importance of family planning and highlighted the availability of modern contraceptive methods that offer up to 99.9% effectiveness when used correctly. DKT Mekong provides a range of high-quality contraceptive options, including condoms, daily oral contraceptives, and emergency contraception, to support individuals in making informed decisions about their reproductive health.

A Milestone for Local Collaboration

In his closing remarks, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Ba Nhat, President of the Vietnam Family Planning Association, noted the significance of this event, marking the first collaboration between DKT Mekong and the association at the commune level. He expressed his appreciation for the strong support from the local authorities and the enthusiastic participation of the community.

“The success of this event is truly encouraging. We hope that the knowledge shared today will empower women to take control of their reproductive health, improve their quality of life, and contribute to effective population policies in the region,” Dr. Nhat stated.

This initiative underscores DKT Mekong’s commitment to promoting reproductive health education and providing access to reliable contraceptive solutions. By fostering open discussions and equipping communities with essential knowledge, we continue to support individuals in making informed and confident choices about their well-being.

Exciting Advancements in Vietnam’s Healthcare Sector!

Posted on by admin

DKT Mekong are delighted to announce a significant milestone in Vietnam’s healthcare landscape: the successful signing ceremony of the MoU between the Vietnam Family Planning Association (VINAFPA) and DKT Vietnam. This partnership represents a pivotal moment in improving nationwide access to essential SRH and FP services.

According to the MoU, both parties will focus on collaborating to enhance availability and expand the distribution network of DKT trademarked SRH products, and to train healthcare providers on the use of contraceptive and safe abortion methods, aiming to improve service quality and user experience at 29 clinics within the VINAFPA network. Additionally, the parties will coordinate to organize IEC programs to raise awareness among youth and industrial zone workers.

During the ceremony, emotions were high as President Pham Ba Nhat recounted the inception of OK condoms, a flagship product of DKT in Vietnam for over 30 years. He shared stories from the early days when OK condoms were first introduced at the Thong Nhat Park Circus, attended by numerous dignitaries from the healthcare sector.

Particularly memorable was the appearance of a large elephant decorated with a red OK logo embroidered on its cloth covering. President Nhat also showed us a gift he has cherished for three decades now: a backpack embroidered with the red OK logo, presented to him during the OK product launch event. Despite a long hiatus in our collaboration, his deep appreciation for DKT work was evident.

President Nhat underscored the importance of renewing our partnership through this MoU, expressing gratitude to DKT Vietnam for actively promoting cooperation aimed at providing comprehensive SRH education and services throughout Vietnam. “We eagerly await the outcomes of this renewed collaboration,” he remarked.

Rodrigo Portugues, DKT Vietnam’s Country Director deeply appreciated President Nhat’s sentiments towards DKT and highlighted: “The partnership reaffirms our joint commitment to empowering individuals and communities by equipping them with essential knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about the SRH.”

Together, we look forward to realizing the full potential of this partnership and its positive impact on communities throughout Vietnam.
