Medical examinations and health care for Heroic Vietnamese Mothers and People Who Contributed to the Revolution

This is one of the hospital's annual gratitude activities, this year carried out on the nationwide occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country (30/4/1975 – 30/4/2025).

During the trip, the hospital's doctors and medical staff visited, examined patients, measured blood pressure, measured blood glucose levels, provided medication, coordinated with families to advise treatment and offer appropriate care guidance for the mothers.

Associate Professor Dr. Trinh Thi Bich Ha – Deputy Head of the Geriatrics – Palliative Care Department at BV ĐHYD said that personally examining and listening to the everyday stories of the mothers was a memorable experience for her. The story of a Heroic Vietnamese Mother with seven children, who lost her husband and son in the war, moved the entire delegation. “I understand the value of the silent sacrifice that the mothers have made for the country, and I feel fortunate to live in peace, with abundance; every effort at work now has more meaning.” Associate Professor Dr. Trinh Thi Bich Ha shared.

BS CKI. Nguyễn Hữu Quí – Department of Gastroenterology also expressed his emotion: “This trip allowed me to look back at history and understand more deeply the losses that the Mothers have endured. The image of a Mother working late into the night to raise her children, even while bearing the grief of losing a husband, losing a child, is truly resilient and full of love. Those stories make us see that the journey of trying to bring patients back to health with their families carries much more meaning.”

The program is one of the meaningful activities that demonstrate the spirit of gratitude of the BV ĐHYD medical staff team towards the generation that sacrificed family happiness, dedicating themselves fully for national independence. Each meeting, care, and concern for the Mothers not only shows gratitude but also provides an opportunity for the younger generation of doctors to gain additional motivation, becoming more attached to the mission of community health care.
