Launching the writing contest "The Silent Sacrifice" in the healthcare sector.

The 7th "Silent Sacrifice" contest was launched on the afternoon of February 25th, coinciding with the 71st anniversary of Vietnamese Doctors' Day on February 27th, organized by the Health and Life Newspaper (Ministry of Health) with the support of the Tam Anh General Hospital system.

At the launching ceremony, Permanent Deputy Minister of Health Vu Manh Ha shared that, for the medical profession, "silent sacrifice" is demonstrated in every overnight shift, every stressful surgery; in dedicated patient care; in trips to remote areas; and in scientific research and the application of new techniques to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment. It is a choice of responsibility, a choice of dedication for the health and trust of the people.
