Raising awareness of health protection for people

Quang Ninh CDC coordinated with Tien Yen District Medical Center to organize health check-ups for people in Dong Ngu commune.

At Dong Ngu Commune Health Station (Tien Yen District), doctors and nurses from CDC Quang Ninh coordinated with Tien Yen District Health Center to conduct screening sessions for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, diabetes, breast cancer, thyroid... for people. During the examination, people had their blood pressure measured, weight and height checked, blood tests, thyroid and breast ultrasounds (for women aged 35 and over). During the examination, people were informed and advised by doctors on how to prevent high blood pressure and diabetes. In cases where the disease was detected, medical staff advised patients to go to the District Health Center for basic tests to have appropriate treatment...

Ms. Pham Thi Cap, a resident of Dong Ngu commune, said: Being examined by doctors, I feel very secure, thanks to that I know how to take care of my health, eat properly to prevent diseases, and protect my health.

Dr. Do Thi Mai Lien, Head of the Department of Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases and Nutrition (CDC Quang Ninh ) said: Through this screening, in addition to health check-ups, we also provide advice on changing habits and lifestyles, such as healthy eating, increased exercise, weight control and ensuring regular health monitoring, so that people can raise their awareness in taking care of their own health. At the same time, through the examination process, we also established a health monitoring system for people at the grassroots level for cases detected at high risk.

In recent times, the health education communication work at the grassroots level has always been of interest to the provincial health sector. Thanks to communication work, people are increasingly aware of improving and protecting their health, thereby contributing to repelling many diseases. In addition, the implementation of activities to provide nutritional advice for pregnant mothers and young children, expanded immunization, and reproductive health care and family planning have also gradually improved community health.

Doctor Luong Thi Huyen, Deputy Head of Quang La Commune Health Station (Ha Long City) said: Thanks to effective communication, most pregnant women in the area have been managed at the station, 100% of women give birth at medical facilities, ensuring safety for both mother and baby. Along with that, mothers have taken their children to get full vaccinations and people voluntarily go to the health station when they are sick so that doctors can examine and treat them promptly.

In order to comprehensively protect the health of the people, in the first quarter of 2025, the provincial health sector has closely followed the developments of the epidemic situation, ensuring effective disease prevention and control, especially for measles - a disease that is at risk of re-emerging in the community. Expanded immunization activities have been focused on with a full vaccination rate of 12.4%, equivalent to 13.1% of the plan, thanks to timely screening in localities. At the same time, health - population target programs continue to be implemented synchronously and effectively such as: Maternal and child health care; the elderly; HIV/AIDS prevention, non-communicable diseases; care for people with disabilities and community mental health, etc.

Along with that, the model of “Comprehensive Support” between provincial and district hospitals continues to be effective, improving the quality of medical examination and treatment at the grassroots level. Hospitals also organize many mobile and humanitarian medical examination and treatment campaigns, bringing medical services to remote villages and hamlets...
