Every day, the Traditional Medicine Clinic (located at the Mother Goddess Temple on 30-4 Street, Phu Loi Ward) receives hundreds of patients for free diagnosis, acupuncture, and herbal medicine. It has become a familiar healthcare destination for many people...

Early in the morning, the Traditional Medicine Clinic was crowded with patients waiting for their turn to be examined; most patients came here to treat the after-effects of stroke, unexplained pain, high blood pressure, etc. Doctors and volunteers were busy performing acupuncture and prescribing medicine; many elderly people were chopping and drying herbs non-stop... Mr. Le Chi Nhan, Deputy Head of the Traditional Medicine Clinic's Management Board, said: "The team of traditional medicine practitioners and medical assistants here all have clear qualifications, so people have great trust in them."

Many people with chronic illnesses and economic difficulties have seen significant health improvements thanks to free pulse diagnosis and herbal medicine. Mr. Nguyen Van Canh from My Phuoc commune said: “More than a year ago, I suffered a stroke. When I first came here, I had to use a wheelchair and couldn't manage my daily activities independently. Thanks to the treatment and care of the doctors, I gradually recovered and can now ride a motorbike.” Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Cam from My Tu commune shared: “I was paralyzed in my limbs and came here for acupuncture. The doctors here are very dedicated; we receive free treatment and encouragement, giving us more faith to overcome our illnesses.”

Everyone receiving treatment at the Traditional Medicine Clinic can eat and stay for free. The clinic also organizes gift-giving activities to support patients when sponsored by benefactors. Ms. Le Thi Hong Van, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Loi Ward, said: "For many years, the Traditional Medicine Clinic has been a partner with the locality in caring for people's health, effectively supporting social welfare work, clearly demonstrating the spirit of doing good and upholding moral values."
