In Article 31, 18 of April every year is regulated as day of protection and care for persons with disabilities.

In addition, we can refer to a milestone relating to April 18th as follows: In response to the call of the United Nations General Assembly in 1976 to take 1981 as the first International Year of Disabled Persons, it called for a plan of action at the national, regional and international levels, with a focus on equalization of opportunities, rehabilitation and prevention of disabilities. In April 18th, 1980, Vietnamese government established the Vietnamese Committee for International Year of the Disabled People.
