Launching a campaign to support impoverished cancer patients.

On the evening of May 23rd, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Cancer Patient Support Fund - A Brighter Tomorrow organized an art exchange program to raise funds to support poor patients with the theme "A Brighter Tomorrow".

Speaking at the program, Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra expressed her emotion at the inspiring stories of impoverished cancer patients recreated through artistic performances and documentaries. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that behind each cancer patient are difficult circumstances, with many families having to sell assets or borrow money to fund their loved ones' treatment.

Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra delivered a speech at the program.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, the Party and State leaders especially sympathize with children who unfortunately suffer from cancer, having to stay in hospital beds and undergo prolonged chemotherapy treatments instead of attending school like their peers. However, the children's will to live and their faith have strongly inspired the community, urging society to continue working together to support patients.

The singers participated in launching a campaign to support cancer patients.

Acknowledging and commending the contributions of the Ministry of Health, medical staff, businesses, organizations, media agencies, and philanthropists who have accompanied cancer patients in the past, Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra called on organizations, businesses, and the entire society to continue spreading the spirit of compassion and joining hands to support poor cancer patients, so that no one is alone in the fight against the disease and all patients have the opportunity to look forward to a brighter tomorrow.
