The premier made the remarks when addressing the Ministry of Health’s annual meeting to review progress in the sector and discuss plans for 2021.
He also reiterated the need for medical staff to comply with professional ethics in the course of their work, as part of sector-wide efforts to raise standards.
The prime minister’s advice comes at a time when health officials are attempting to improve the country’s healthcare services and fulfil the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals so that Laos can rise above least developed country status in the near future.
