In his opening speech at the workshop, Prof. Le Bach Quang, chairman of the National Parasitological Association of Vietnam, highly evaluated the studies and research work carried out by parasitologists nationwide. 18 out of 28 reports were presented at the workshop, which covered various fields including malaria parasitology, helminthology, mycology and protozoology. These presentations were diversified, up-to-date and highly convincible, raising exciting discussions among participants. Most of these studies would be potentially extended to wider areas of the country.
Another aspect of the workshop was to do with training activities in parasitology. In the workshop, the participants discussed and finalized the unique training curricula applied to schools and universities nationwide. These training materials will be jointly prepared by parasitological departments from Universities and Institutes of malariology, parasitology and entomology.
