HÀ NỘI Over 100 officials and staff members of the Ministry of Health on Tuesday attended a training programme on AI opportunities for healthcare professionals.

This marks a significant step in advancing the Government's 'Digital Literacy for All' campaign spearheaded by Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính, and in accelerating the nation’s digital transformation in the healthcare sector.

Organised under the direction and collaboration of the Ministry of Health's Department of Science, Technology and Training, the programme is implemented by VietHealth and Doccen Healthcare Technology.

Participants were introduced to advanced AI tools developed by Google, including Gemini and NotebookLM, while learning the importance of ethical and responsible AI usage in professional and everyday contexts. 

The training aimed not only to familiarise healthcare workers with emerging technologies, but also to raise awareness of AI's pivotal role in enhancing healthcare services and administrative efficiency.

Dr Nguyễn Ngô Quang, Director General of the Department of Science, Technology and Training under the Ministry of Health, said: "The adoption of artificial intelligence is a fundamental pillar of Việt Nam's digital transformation in healthcare."

"We expect this programme will not only build individual capacity, but also create a ripple effect, fostering innovation and systemic change across the sector," he added. VNS
