In July, the Provincial Red Cross Society coordinated with the Provincial Military Command to organize a program to examine, provide health consultation, distribute medicine and give free gifts to 160 policy beneficiaries in Hoanh Bo ward. Doctors and nurses conducted in-depth examinations of bones and joints, digestion, respiration, ultrasound, electrocardiogram... and provided enthusiastic treatment advice to the people. War veteran Trieu Duc Linh (71 years old), residing in Khe Len village, Hoanh Bo ward, shared: I have a history of asthma. When I came here to be examined, consulted and received free medicine, I was very moved. This activity really has a lot of practical meaning for people like us.

The Association also presented 20 gifts, each worth 1.2 million VND, to 20 veterans affected by Agent Orange in the localities of Hong Gai, Quang La, Quang Yen, Hiep Hoa and Phong Coc. Although the gifts are not large, they demonstrate the community's concern and sharing for the victims, contributing to encouraging them to overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives.
