Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in Vietnam. This review aims to assess the current status of the stroke care system and quality criteria in the acute phase at stroke hospitals. In 2016, the Ministry of Health in Vietnam issued Circular 47, a mandate to build stroke units in Vietnam. The ANGELS program, which is supporting the World Stroke Organization to gain its goals, was implemented in 18 stroke‐ready hospitals in Vietnam to help address quality of stroke patient care in 2017. From the results achieved, we will continue to improve policies, strive to reach stroke benchmark goals, as well as plan to implement solutions in the future to build a better stroke system of care infrastructure in Vietnam.
