Giving gifts and encouraging patient Hoang Thanh Giang after 9 years of treatment

Patient Hoang Thanh Giang, 40 years old in Da Lat, shared: “I have been treated here for 9 years due to thrombocytopenia. 2 years ago, I went to the hospital regularly for treatment, once a month, and was examined by the doctor for monitoring and prescribed platelet transfusion. Since I gave birth to my third child, the number of times I have been hospitalized has gradually decreased, sometimes every 3-6 months I have to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, my health has improved a lot. Although I have health insurance, the cost fluctuates an additional 1-2 million VND/treatment period. I sell bread, eat at restaurants and work extra to take care of my family. I was very touched when receiving this gift, because I saw many people caring for patients like us.”
