Mr. H. also received a picture with wishes for health and encouragement, handwritten by teachers of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City, the board of directors, doctors, and medical staff from many departments in the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Along with this meaningful picture, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital gave a congratulatory letter and supported him with 200 million VND to help Mr. LAH overcome the current difficulties.

"On this day a month ago, we were still very careful and closely monitored the patient, even though he was able to go home. The patient still needed to take immunosuppressants, have physical therapy programs specifically designed to restore mobility, and receive psychological counseling to be able to return to normal life. Normally, after a heart transplant, the patient often feels very healthy and is often subjective. If they do not receive careful psychological counseling and treatment methods, they may overexert themselves, which is very dangerous," said Associate Professor, Doctor, Doctor Nguyen Hoang Dinh, who performed the heart transplant.

University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital presented a congratulatory letter, a blessing tree and financial support to help Mr. LAH overcome current difficulties.

Nursing Bachelor Tran Thi Anh Hong, Department of Cardiology, was also very emotional when saying goodbye to the patient: "The first time I was assigned to be part of the team taking care of a heart transplant patient, I was also worried. But now that Mr. H's health has recovered quickly, I feel very happy, and my work is more meaningful."

"My husband and I are very lucky and are always grateful to the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Now that I can return home, I will prepare to rearrange my life. My children will be able to sleep well with their parents again...", Ms. T., LAH's wife, shared.
