Medical examination and free medicine distribution for hundreds of poor people

On December 21st, more than 300 disadvantaged people and families receiving government assistance in Ia Lau commune (Chu Prong district, Gia Lai province) received free medical screening, medication, and treatment from young doctors at Hung Vuong Gia Lai Hospital.

Over 300 disadvantaged people and families receiving government assistance in Ia Lâu commune (Chư Prông district, Gia Lai province) received free medical examinations and medication.

Accordingly, people from many villages gathered at the Ia Lâu Commune Health Station to receive medical examinations. Ms. Luong Thi Hong, a 67-year-old woman of the Muong ethnic group residing in Pac Bo village (Ia Lâu commune), traveled more than 4km with her son from early morning to reach the examination point. Ms. Hong said that for many years, she has experienced tremors and joint pain, making it difficult to walk. "It's a remote and difficult place here, and I don't have the means to go to the city for medical checkups. Now that I heard that doctors from Pleiku City are coming, I told my son to arrange his work so we could go for an examination right away," Ms. Hong shared.

Mr. Nong Van Tinh (59 years old, Da Bac village) said he was very happy to have stable health results after receiving free medical examinations from the doctors. “We villagers are very happy to hear that we will receive free examinations and medicine. People here are in difficult circumstances, and many don't even know they are sick, so I find this free medical examination very meaningful. The people are very excited. Thank you to all levels of government, departments, and doctors for coming here to provide free medical examinations for the villagers,” Mr. Tinh expressed.

After examining, screening, and classifying each disease group, the doctors will advise the people on how to take care of their health.

After examination, screening, and classification of each disease group, doctors will advise people on how to take care of their health and nourish their bodies. If they have any illnesses, they will be advised on treatment methods and provided with free medicine kits. Through this health check-up program, many cases of serious illnesses have been detected in time, allowing people to be referred to higher-level hospitals for treatment.

Dr. Bui Viet Hoang, Deputy Medical Director of Hung Vuong Hospital in Gia Lai, said: "The free medical examination and medication distribution is one of the meaningful healthcare programs organized by the hospital to help people in remote areas who have limited access to medical services. It also provides health advice and education so that people can prevent common diseases."

The funding for the free medical examination and medication distribution for 300 people amounted to over 30 million VND, allocated from the budget of Hung Vuong Gia Lai Hospital.

Free medical examinations and medication distribution are meaningful, voluntary activities for community health. This activity is part of the "Warm Winter - Loving Spring 2024" program. Through this activity, assistance and support have been provided, reducing some of the annual medical expenses for poor people. The program has also yielded positive results, contributing to the community's efforts in caring for the health of the people, especially those in difficult circumstances.
