The fund was set up for the purchasing of COVID-19 vaccines from abroad and for supporting the production of made-in-Vietnam vaccines towards fulfilling the target of inoculating 70 per cent of Việt Nam’s 98-million population, to help the country quickly recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and soon stabilize the socio-economy.

The Ascott International Management Vietnam is the management company of The Ascott Limited, a CapitaLand’s wholly-owned lodging business unit.
