Long Chau cooperates with Mayoly and VnADA Association to launch memory health check program

On August 5, Long Chau pharmacy and vaccination center system and Mayoly officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement, with professional support from the Vietnam Cognitive Neurological Disorders Association (VnADA).

Within the framework of the event, the units announced the implementation of the TNmindtest memory and concentration screening program. The activities aim to improve the quality of community health care, especially for people aged 35 to 50, for a healthier Vietnam.

Persistent with the mission of "Taking care of Vietnamese people's health - For a healthier Vietnam" with a network of more than 2,222 pharmacies and 18,000 pharmacists nationwide, Long Chau has pioneered and proactively enhanced strategic cooperation with prestigious global pharmaceutical corporations to implement community health care programs such as: early screening for chronic kidney disease, pre-diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver, hypertension... Projects are developed based on scientific data, digital technology application and personalization, aiming to bring practical medical solutions to the right people, at the right time, helping people access reliable, standardized and fair health care services, developing for a healthier Vietnam.

Extending its commitment to community action, Long Chau continues to join forces with Mayoly and the Vietnam Neurocognitive Disorders Association (VnADA) to implement the TNmindtest program - Screening for memory and concentration health, for the first time in Vietnam. This is a strategic step to improve the professional capacity of pharmacists in consulting and supporting customers in screening for problems related to memory and concentration. At the same time, the program aims to detect early signs of mild cognitive impairment - such as forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating or slower thinking - in people aged 35 to 50. These manifestations can be early signs of a condition called mild cognitive impairment (MCI), an intermediate stage between normal aging and more serious memory disorders. Through the project, the units hope to contribute to raising public awareness of the importance of early brain care to prevent cognitive decline later.

TNmindtest is a tool for assessing memory and concentration, digitized by leading experts in the field of neurology and cognition, developed by VnADA and sponsored by Mayoly. The tool is built on the diagnostic criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) issued by the American Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) in 2011. The test focuses on functions that are often affected early in young people such as episodic memory, the ability to learn and remember new information, and working memory, the ability to retain and process short-term information.

Mayoly representative shares common vision

Representing Mayoly, Mr. Mehdi MEFTAH, General Director of Asia Pacific Region said: "At Mayoly, we have been committed to providing solutions to enhance brain care for the Vietnamese people for over 30 years, with products containing standardized Ginkgo biloba extract - clinically proven. The Memory & Concentration Health Screening Project not only demonstrates our sustainable commitment to providing daily brain health care solutions - but also demonstrates the collaboration that creates practical impact on patients and communities in Vietnam. Vietnam has been and continues to be an important part of Mayoly's global journey ".

The CEO emphasized that this project focuses specifically on an increasingly important issue: brain health. Mayoly believes that supporting early screening for memory and concentration problems is extremely important, and that starts in the places closest to the community: pharmacies, clinics, and localities.

" Through the collaboration with VnADA and Long Chau pharmacy system, we hope to empower both healthcare workers and people through accessible screening tools, community education programs and professional networking activities. Our common vision is to raise awareness of early brain care, improve the quality of life for Vietnamese people, bring high-quality products, and especially make practical contributions to improving brain health for Vietnamese people, minimizing the risk of cognitive decline later in life ," Mayoly representative shared more.
