摘要：Bilateral research co-operation and research training between Vietnam and Sweden, aimed at focusing on important development issues, began in the 1970s. Today, global health and health impacts of climate change are on top of the agenda:Vietnam is experiencing a double burden of diseases, including both infectious (HIV/AIDS, bird flu, dengue fever, food poisoning, etc.) and non-communicable diseases (cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc.), and is predicted to be greatly impacted by climate change in the future.Sweden also faces significant health challenges, in terms of chronic diseases, and will probably at the same time like many similar countries in the West become greatly affected by climate change.(Published: 25 February 2013)Citation: Glob Health Action 2013, 6: 20446 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/gha.v6i0.20446
