On June 19, 2026, the Deputy Prime Minister signed Decision No. 1096/QD-TTg approving a project of developing Hue University of Medicine & Pharmacy Hospital to meet the standards of leading hospitals in Southeast Asia and heading towards the goal of reaching international standards.

Running throughout Hue Today, Issue No. 479, published on July 22, are stories highlighting the responsibility to the community, from paying tribute to Fallen heroes, protecting public health, and combating counterfeit goods, to the volunteer spirit of the youth.

Hue City's implementation of the project to develop Hue Central Hospital and Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital into international-standard, high-tech medical centers not only opens up a new chapter of development for the two leading medical facilities but also elevates Hue's healthcare sector in the new era.

Hue Today Issue No. 478, published on Tuesday, July 21st, features a wide range of noteworthy stories covering politics, the economy, culture, society, and community affairs.

For the first time, Bun bo Hue (Hue beef noodle soup) will be celebrated through a nationwide festival. Featuring more than 80 food stalls, live culinary demonstrations serving hundreds of visitors, a stage production recounting the dish's more than 400-year history, and a variety of interactive experiences, these will turn Thuong Bac Park to become a gathering place for food enthusiasts from July 23rd to 26th.

The front page leads with “From recognizing values to shaping the future of Hue’s heritage”, reflecting key outcomes from the International scientific conference on the conservation and promotion of cultural heritage values.

If the past 5 years were a period of building a ‘data reservoir’, the next 5 years will be a time of forming a ‘data power plant’, where data is not only stored, but also harnessed to create new values. This also requires management agencies to shift from a mindset of managing data to the one of exploiting and promoting its values, bringing heritage closer to the public while opening new opportunities for economic development based on heritage.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Te (Editor-in-Chief of the Van Lang University Journal of Science) believes that Hue is standing at a major institutional turning point, where heritage is no longer viewed simply as an object of preservation but as an endogenous resource and a source of soft power for development.
