On December 1st and 2nd, the Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Dak Lak Provincial Police, in coordination with Hoan Hao Multi-Specialty Clinic (Buon Ma Thuot ward), organized a program to provide free medical examinations and medication to 1,000 people in Hoa Thinh commune, one of the areas most severely affected by the recent historic floods.
Hoa Thinh commune suffered immense losses with 25 deaths, 4,820 houses completely flooded, and over 200 houses collapsed or damaged. Damage to agriculture and infrastructure was also very serious, with total estimated losses exceeding 610 billion VND.

Faced with this difficult situation, the People's Committee of Hoa Thinh commune has requested relevant authorities to implement policies to extend, freeze, or write off debts for households that have borrowed from banks, especially policy beneficiary households, households with deceased members, and poor and near-poor households. At the same time, they proposed timely support with plant and animal breeds to help people stabilize their economy as soon as possible.
The medical team participating in the program consisted of 8 specialist doctors and 2 pharmacists, led by Dr. Nguyen Dai Phong, former Director of the Central Highlands Regional Hospital. Dr. Phong said that during the examinations, the people mainly suffered from dermatological diseases, ear, nose, throat, eye diseases, diarrhea, and psychological problems after the natural disaster.

"Besides dispensing medication to some people, the doctors also provide in-depth treatment advice for patients with underlying conditions. Our medical team hopes to contribute a small part to support the local community," Dr. Phong shared.
A leader from Hoa Thinh commune emphasized that the recent floods have disrupted people's lives, with many families focusing on repairing the damage and having little time for healthcare.
