According to Dr. Ha Anh Duc, Vice President of the Vietnam Youth Union, President of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association, over the past 6 months from May to November, we are proud to have 21,217 young physicians participating both directly and online; 1,136,135 people received direct medical consultation and examination, and more than 1 million people were diagnosed with chronic lung diseases through the artificial intelligence platform.
Outstanding activities such as the program "CAREME - Screening for cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic diseases" and "Digital transformation for lung health" have become bright spots, contributing to raising public awareness of chronic diseases, disease prevention and treatment measures as well as awareness of preventing the harmful effects of risk factors.
In particular, the CAREME program has reached out, consulted and screened 7,616 people in the community and 5 major hospitals across the country, detecting many cases of chronic kidney disease - the 8th leading cause of death in Vietnam.
Applying advanced screening methods, combined with artificial intelligence (AI) technology for early detection and timely treatment will minimize health risks for people. This is a big step forward in the field of public health , when we bring modern technology to serve the community effectively.
In addition, the “Digital Transformation for Lung Health” program has applied a digital platform to support the diagnosis and monitoring of lung health for people. This program not only helps improve diagnosis efficiency and reduce waiting time, but also helps people in remote areas have the opportunity to access modern medical services right at their place of residence.
After the program, the organizers conducted a summary and statistics, showing that the rate of signs of chronic kidney disease is approximately 16.2% in the community (compared to statistics of 12% of the population and 17% of the adult population).
This result shows that the burden of chronic kidney disease - the 8th leading cause of death in Vietnam - needs more attention from all sectors and levels to ensure quality of life and comprehensive access to healthcare for the people.
At today's program, more than 2,000 people in the city, including meritorious people, policy families, people in difficult circumstances, and freelance workers, participated in disease screening with the following items: medical examination, basic blood test, chest X-ray, ultrasound, electrocardiogram, screening for lung diseases, lung cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, kidney function tests if there are signs of disease, and CT scan when abnormalities in the lungs are detected.
People in the city can also continue to be screened using AI on the examination platform of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association.
Also in the program, many policy families and children in difficult circumstances in Tay Ho district received meaningful support gifts from the journey's Organizing Committee. 14 groups and 16 individuals with outstanding achievements in implementing the journey were commended and awarded certificates of merit by the Central Youth Union Secretariat.
