The program is a partnership between TruScreen, Ho Chi Minh City Public Health Association (HPHA) and distributor Gorton Health Services (GHS). A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in November 2024. The formal Agreement for the program was signed on 12 April 2025 in Ho Chi Minh City by Dr Le Truang Jiang (President of HPHA), Mr Tran An Bao (CEO GHS Vietnam) and Mr Tony Ho (Chair, TruScreen). The keynote speech inaugurating the program was delivered by Prof. Dr. Nguyen Chan Hung, President of Vietnam Cancer Association to an audience including representatives of the Ho Chi Minh City Public Health Association, the Ho Chi Minh City Centre for Disease Control, The Vietnam Cancer Association, The Ho Chi Minh City Health Centres Reproductive Health Department and the Australian Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. The Government of Vietnam has implemented the National Action Plan on Cervical Cancer Prevention (2016-2025), with the goal of screening 60% of women aged 30 to 54 for cervical cancer. Currently, about 25% of Vietnamese women have ever been screened for this condition. The primary challenge is that many women are unaware of the risk of cervical cancer and the benefits and importance of early screening for cervical cancer detection. The objectives of the Community-based Cervical Cancer Screening Program are: • Promote awareness, attitudes, and preventive practices for cervical cancer among women • Collect large-scale epidemiological data on cervical cancer and pre-cancer in Vietnam • Develop a proactive, community-based cervical cancer screening model for future nationwide implementation • Contribute to the citywide elimination of cervical cancer in line with WHO guidelines and Vietnam Ministry of Health TruScreen will be the screening methodology of choice for the program. TruScreen was selected for its unique, AI-enabled, real time, non-invasive cervical cancer screening technology, requiring no cytology or other laboratory infrastructure. TruScreen’s portability, ease of use and accurate AI enabled algorithm delivering real time results align with the programs objective for early detection in large populations. Ho Chi Minh City Public Health Association (HPHA) will organize and manage the overall project’s implementation, including promotion of the program, recruitment of social workers, securing local government approvals and agreements with community health centres and hospitals. HPHA is a socio-professional organization established in 2007 by the Peoples Committee of Ho Chi Minh City and is charged with communication and education on community health management as well as implementing programs, projects and community health events in Ho Chi Minh City. Gorton Health Services Company Limited (GHS), the authorized distributor of TruScreen in Vietnam, will coordinate between TruScreen and HPHA, as well as import, distribute and install the TruScreen products (device and SUS) to screening locations, provide training and support, and collect, compile, and report screening data for analysis. Program delivery • Social workers will be trained on the details of cervical cancer screening and visit their local community door-to-door to educate women on cervical cancer risk and register participants for the program. The preferential target population for screening will be women 30 to 49 who have had sexual intercourse and present as high risk due to multiple children, HPV infection, living with HIV, smoking (etc) • Screening will take place at the gynaecology clinics of the District Health Centres and high-tech private clinics. Three major hospitals will provide technical support: Tu Du Hospital, Hung Vuong Hospital, and Ung Buou Hospital. • Media support will be provided by the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union. • The program will begin in Ho Chi Minh City, with plans for gradual expansion to other provinces across Vietnam. TruScreen CEO, Marty Dillon commented: "This program with its target of Screening 260,000 women may save the lives of over 2,600 mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and friends. TruScreen was identified as the ideal screening technology for its unique ability to provide accurate, real time results without the need for any expensive laboratory infrastructure and its portability which allows for the program to ‘go to the community’, increasing screening uptake amongst the women of Ho Chi Minh City." “This HPHA screening program will also serve as an important reference site for neighbouring countries who may be considering similar large scale screening program to improve Women’s Health.” This announcement has been approved by the Board.
