The National Action Month on Population and

adolescents and youngsters for the future generations”. The Vietnamese
adolescents and youths aged 10-24 (as defined by the World Health Organisation)
account for over 22 percent of the population. They form a strong force playing
a great role in national construction and defence. Therefore, their
reproductive health is considered a priority in the Vietnam population and
reproductive health strategy for the 2011-2020 period. The Health Ministry
worked closely with agencies to hold activities caring for reproductive health
of adolescents and youths which remains limited now.
According to the Maternal and Child Health Department, abortion in Vietnam
remains high with 250,000 – 300,000 cases each year. Of 1,000 cases, 15 are in
adolescents while there are 62 cases of unexpected pregnancy per 100 abortion
cases in women aged 15-49. In order to respond to the National Action Month on
Population and Vietnam Population Day, the ministry wished that departments and
agencies would encourage walks of life to respond to the theme "Caring for
reproductive health of adolescents, youths for future generations”, thereby
ensuring that adolescents and youths receive comprehensive care and fully
perform their rights and responsibilities.
