Regular health check-ups, meticulous environmental sanitation, and strict food safety protocols are maintained across the three canteens, complemented by diverse health communication and counseling programs.

To proactively manage complex public health situations, HaUI has established three dedicated steering committees: the Primary Healthcare Steering Committee, the Disease Prevention and Control Steering Committee, and the Food Safety and Hygiene Steering Committee. Guided closely by the Board of Rectors, these committees comprehensively coordinate and actively implement preventive measures. This includes consistently updating health information, intensifying sanitation and disinfection efforts, conducting mosquito eradication sprays, and maintaining seamless collaboration with the Bac Tu Liem District Medical Center and the Hanoi CDC. These concerted efforts ensure the safest possible learning and working environment throughout HaUI.
