As one of the frontline hospitals in the treatment of infectious diseases, the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases has not been bustling as usual because there are mostly specialised staff members.

There so many patients coming for screening that the doctors and nurses have to work very hard.

The information of isolated and treated patients is recorded carefully.

With the specific characteristics of their job, the doctors and nurses must temporarily put aside their private lives. In this photo, Doctor Vu Minh Duc was chatting with his lover during his rest time on Valentine’s Day.

The doctors and nurses at the hospital who have direct contact with patients must be isolated in separate areas and are not allowed to go out.

The medical staff at the hospital are always ready to handle any incident.

Thanks to the dedicated care and treatment of the doctors and nurse, many patients have recovered from the disease and have been discharged from the hospital.
