Eat all the moon cake and you will be cured.

Ms. TTNT (52 years old, living in Khanh Hoa ) said that after a general examination, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to be hospitalized for treatment. After nearly 2 weeks of treatment at Cho Ray Hospital, she longed every day to return home to be with her family.

Ms. T. happily received a gift on the occasion of Mid-Autumn Festival from Master Le Minh Hien, Head of Social Work Department, Cho Ray Hospital (HCMC)

"Mid-Autumn Festival is often called the Festival of Reunion. However, because I have to undergo medical treatment, I cannot stay home with my family. Being cared for, encouraged, and given small gifts by the doctors and medical staff at the hospital makes not only me but many patients feel comforted and not alone on their treatment journey. Although it is just a moon cake, for us it is considered a "miracle" medicine, eating all the cake will cure the disease" - Ms. T. was moved.

Medical staff at the Breast Treatment Unit, Oncology Center, Cho Ray Hospital (HCMC) presented gifts to inpatients.

Warmth is the common feeling of many patients being treated here when receiving meaningful Mid-Autumn gifts from medical staff.

MSc. Nguyen Minh Hien, Head of the Social Work Department - Cho Ray Hospital, said that through the support of benefactors, the hospital gave 100 gifts to patients being treated at the Breast Unit, part of the hospital's Oncology Center. This is an annual activity on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival to encourage the spirit and create joy for patients and their relatives in the fight against disease.

"Taking care of patients during treatment is the main activity of the Social Work Department. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival gift is small, it is a concern to encourage their spirit, help them feel comforted and shared, help them somewhat ease the pain of illness, quickly recover their health, and soon return home to reunite with their families" - Mr. Hien emphasized.

On this occasion, the Youth Union and the Hospital Union also organized Mid-Autumn Festival activities for children in the two departments of Cardiac Surgery and Neurosurgery.
