Taking place in parallel with the campaign is the activity of medical examination and free medicine distribution for poor people in the commune, attracting a large number of people to come for health examination and consultation. Ms. Thi Phuong excitedly said: "This is a remote area, medical examination and treatment are still difficult, so when I heard that a group of doctors and nurses came to examine and distribute free medicine, I and many people in the hamlet were excited to come here early. We are very grateful that the local government and the Youth Union have created conditions for medical examination and distribution of medicine like this."

The Pink Holiday Volunteer Campaign is one of the five key programs of the annual Summer Volunteer Campaign of the Youth Union at all levels. The core force is civil servants, public employees, young workers, and young entrepreneurs, applying their expertise and skills to participate in volunteer activities and serve the community. The campaign aims to train courage, awareness and action, promote noble ideals of life, be kind, and contribute their youth to society.
