Treat patients like family.

Like other medical staff, Le Thi Hong Nhung, a pediatric rehabilitation technician at the Pediatric Rehabilitation Department (Da Nang City Rehabilitation Hospital), is always trusted and respected by patients and their families. With over 12 years of experience, Ms. Nhung has intervened in and cared for hundreds of children with syndromes such as: autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, language development disorders, intellectual disability, motor developmental delay, etc.

Every day, she witnesses the unusual behaviors of young patients: screaming, banging their heads, scratching...; crying is a characteristic sound in the ward day and night; even the smell of urine and vomit is not unfamiliar. Witnessing the disabilities of children and the difficulties that parents go through every day with their children, Ms. Nhung has developed greater empathy and understanding for the families of young patients.

That's also why she wants to stay at the hospital, wanting to contribute her efforts to support families and young patients on their journey to reintegrate into the community, even though many colleagues couldn't handle the work pressure and psychological stress and chose to leave.

Ms. Nhung shared: "Working in the Pediatric Rehabilitation Department means constantly interacting with children who suffer a great deal of physical and mental pain, so we always treat them with the same care and concern as a mother or family member."

Despite working in a highly infectious environment, Head Nurse Vu Thi Thanh Tam of Internal Medicine Department I ( Da Nang Lung Hospital) consistently excels in her assigned duties.

She meticulously cared for and encouraged patients, unafraid of the highly contagious nature of the disease, earning their complete trust and affection. Despite daily contact with tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis patients, who have a very high risk of transmission, she always worked with exemplary dedication, approachability, and caution.

According to the leaders of Da Nang Lung Hospital, nurse Vu Thi Thanh Tam always demonstrates a spirit of volunteerism in her work, is not afraid of difficult tasks, and strives to complete her duties well. In particular, nurse Tam is always caring and dedicated to patients. She also handles situations well when advising on care regimens and providing health education to tuberculosis patients, ensuring that patients and their families understand and feel secure about their treatment.
