Health Care in the Cong and Si La Ethnic Minorities in Dien Bien and Lai Chau Provinces

  • Lê Thị Mùi

Abstract

The Cong and Si La have the least population of all ethnic minorities in Vietnam, who live mainly in Dien Bien and Lai Chau provinces. Due to different customs and residence located far from the center, they receive poorer health care and nutritional quality than other ethnic groups in the province. Living in isolated areas with very little traffic, their opportunity to access medical services and treatment as well as health care remains a big challenge. Based on field research in Nam Khao, Kan Ho communes of Muong Te district and Nam Cha commune of Nam Nhun district, Lai Chau province, the article indicates the advantages and disadvantages of providing health care for the two ethnic minorities.
