Health care for more than 1,000 people affected by Typhoon Yagi

A working group from the Ministry of Health, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association, the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management, and the Health and Life Newspaper coordinated with several units to organise a program to examine, distribute free medicine, and present gifts to people in Muong Chieng Commune, one of the communes heavily affected by Typhoon Yagi in Da Bac District, Hoa Binh Province on September 26.

Within the programme’s framework, more than 1,000 people in the area received free medical examinations and screening tests for general internal medicine, digestive specialties, and dermatology.

Notably, this is the first time that people in Muong Chieng Commune have had access to a large-scale, highly specialised medical team with lots of equipment, supplies, and sufficient amounts of medicine.

The Organising Committee also presented many valuable gifts to two medical staff who lost their homes due to storms and floods, as well as four households that suffered heavy damage due to storms and floods and presented 13 gifts to 13 medical stations in Da Bac District.
