His previous career-high ranking was 358, achieved mid-July this year. Vietnam’s best tennis player was in impressive form with a streak of 24 consecutive wins in the past two months before losing to Japan’s Yuta Shimizu in the final of the M15 Kuching, also in Malaysia, last weekend.

The Ministry of Health recently requested local authorities to correct medical facilities that advertised the treatment of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality.

Homosexuality has been neither considered a disease nor included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) since 1994. WHO defines homosexuality as a sexual orientation in which people are attracted to other people of the same sex, stressing that it … [Read more...] about Medical facilities must not consider homosexuality as disease: Vietnam health ministry
