MARCH 2010 — FHI is developing a national reputation in Vietnam in the area of tobacco control. Evidence of this is visible in the multimedia initiative launched March 11 that FHI developed in partnership with Vietnam National Committee on Smoking and Health (VINACOSH) and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union. The objective is to engage young people to support passage of the Vietnam Tobacco Control Law, which is scheduled for debate in 2011. 
JANUARY 2010 – FHI is helping to pioneer a new approach to drug treatment in Vietnam. In 2008, as part of a pilot program, methadone was administered to the first clients of a USAID/FHI-supported government clinic in Hai Phong. Methadone treatment is now part of a comprehensive set of healthcare services offered by selected providers to reduce injecting drug use and criminal activity, prevent the spread of HIV and hepatitis C, and provide treatment to HIV-positive patients.
