Bring Tet to the poor patients

Suffering from end-stage renal failure, Ms. Tam must undergo dialysis three times a week to stay alive. This year is also the eighth year Ms. Tam has celebrated Tet at the hospital (photo below). Along with other patients, Ms. Tam always receives a lot of sharing and love from all levels, sectors, organizations and kind individuals.

Ms. Trieu Thi Tam, Dien Quan commune, Bao Yen district shared: “Renting a house here for dialysis, the monthly support from the Compassionate Heart Club with necessities is enough to eat. On holidays and Tet, I am very happy to receive care and gifts like this, poor patients like us also feel warmer.”

More than 170 poor patients and those with serious illnesses requiring long-term treatment at the Provincial General Hospital were given Tet gifts at the program “Spring of Love - Tet Sharing”. Patients and their families also participated in many meaningful activities such as: shopping for Tet at the “0 VND” booth; supporting 3 “0 VND” buses to take patients home for Tet, the total cost of the program was nearly 220 million VND.

More than 170 poor patients and people with serious illnesses received Tet gifts at the program "Spring of Love - Tet of Sharing".

Ms. Pham Thi Thuy, Head of the Social Work Team, Provincial General Hospital said: “During Tet, we always have a team on duty, receiving sponsorship, supporting benefactors who need to visit and support patients. For patients with special difficulties, we receive information and the patient's circumstances, then connect with benefactors to provide the best and most timely support.”

Receiving the attention and participation of agencies, units, businesses, organizations, and kind-hearted individuals inside and outside the province, the work of caring for the poor during Tet has been maintained by hospitals in the province with a strong spread, partly compensating and sharing the difficulties of the patients.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tham, Head of the Hanoi - Lao Cai Pink Heart Club, said: “Our group often has free meals for patients, warm winters, and Mid-Autumn Festivals. For poor patients, getting well and going home is difficult, not to mention shopping for Tet, so every year our group often organizes “zero-dong” markets at the Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, Rehabilitation Hospital, and Provincial General Hospital to share small gifts, warming the hearts of patients.”

The love given is the love that lasts forever. The community's cooperation and contribution, and the activities of taking care of the poor during Tet have truly become a "support" that adds strength and confidence for patients to feel secure in their treatment.
