Working together for a healthier community.

With non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke becoming increasingly prevalent and affecting younger people, raising public awareness about early prevention and promoting healthy lifestyles is becoming an urgent requirement for modern societal health.

The "Thousand Steps - Million Healthy Hearts" program spreads the spirit of healthy living and proactive health care within the community.

Stemming from that meaning, on May 10th, the program "A Thousand Steps - A Million Healthy Hearts," organized by the Vietnam Diabetes Educators Association in collaboration with Duc Giang General Hospital and Viet Hung Ward (Hanoi), with the support of Vinamilk Vietnam Dairy Joint Stock Company, took place at Long Bien Park, Viet Hung Ward (Hanoi).

The program was organized to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the Traditional Day of Vietnamese Elderly People and in response to the Month of Action for the Elderly.

Dr. Nguyen Dinh Hung, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Health, delivered the opening remarks.

Opening the program, Dr. Nguyen Dinh Hung, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Health, shared: "Currently, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and stroke are increasing and becoming a major challenge for public health care. Many diseases are tending to affect younger people due to sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy living habits, and the pressures of modern life. Therefore, the Hanoi health sector always identifies disease prevention, raising community awareness, and building a healthy lifestyle as the most sustainable and effective solutions. Everyone should proactively take care of their own health through small actions every day. Every step today is not only a physical activity, but also a symbol of a healthy, positive, and responsible life towards oneself, family, and community."

Therefore, the "Thousand Steps - Million Healthy Hearts" program is not just a community walking activity, but also a health communication campaign aimed at raising awareness about stroke prevention, cardiovascular complications, and diabetes through physical activity and positive lifestyle changes, becoming a bridge to spread the spirit of healthy living and proactive health care in the community.

The event attracted a large number of doctors, healthcare professionals, and people who love a healthy lifestyle.

The highlight of the program was a community walk with the participation of numerous doctors, healthcare professionals, patients, families, and people who love a healthy lifestyle. Through the image of footsteps moving towards a common goal, the program conveyed the message: "Every step today is a commitment to a healthy heart tomorrow."

The event's atmosphere was geared towards a modern, positive, and inspiring spirit, encouraging everyone to be more proactive in building a daily exercise habit – a simple solution that offers many long-term health benefits.

In addition to walking activities, the program also includes various community communication activities, health education and counseling, and interactive activities to raise awareness about stroke prevention and diabetes management.

Participants in the program received gifts from the sponsor.

One of the program's notable aspects is the collaboration of organizations and businesses in the healthcare and nutrition sectors, all with the desire to contribute to building a healthier community.

Vinamilk Sure's nutrition consultation area attracted a large number of consumers who came to listen to shared information about proactive health care.
