Military-Civilian Clinic: A trusted address for patients

The Military-Civilian Medical Clinic model has a special role, both strategic and deeply humane. This is a combination of the Military Medical force and the local health sector, aiming to take care of the health of both soldiers and people in border areas, islands, remote areas, and areas of special importance in terms of national defense and security.

The Military-Civilian Clinic of Division 5 has treatment rooms, medicine rooms, testing rooms... in a standardized and modern manner, meeting the health care needs of soldiers and people in the area.

In 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, the clinic will be renovated and upgraded with a total cost of up to 480 million VND. Along with that, the unit also purchased additional essential medical equipment worth 120 million VND; received medical supplies and equipment from superiors worth nearly 2 billion VND. Thereby helping the clinic complete its equipment system, serving more effectively for professional activities, especially key specialties such as dentistry, oriental medicine, and physical therapy.

In addition, the medical staff is professionally trained, updated with new knowledge and practiced with modern techniques. Many advanced treatment methods have been successfully applied, improving the quality of treatment, increasingly meeting the medical examination and treatment needs of both the military and civilians. The professionalism and dedication of the medical staff has helped the clinic affirm its position as a trusted address in community health care activities.

As of the third quarter of 2025, the clinic has achieved many impressive results. The total number of medical examinations and treatments is more than 35,000. Of these, 1,022 are for military personnel, 30,554 are for civilians, 3,079 are for charity examinations, and 524 are for Cambodian people.

Patients are instructed in exercise in the treatment of sequelae of cerebrovascular accident.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Minh Thuy - Chief of Military Medicine Division 5, said: "With the motto "Serving the People", the clinic always cleverly integrates mass mobilization activities into professional work. A typical example is the first mass mobilization work in 2025 in Thai Binh commune (old, now Chau Thanh commune), the team of doctors and nurses organized medical examinations, consultations, and free medicine distribution for 200 people - prioritizing the elderly, women, and children from poor households; consulting on disease prevention, personal hygiene and environmental hygiene".

Mr. Nguyen Van Tai (78 years old, local resident) shared: “I have had joint pain for a long time, every time the weather changes I often cannot sleep. Military and civilian doctors came to examine me, give me medicine and guide me through exercises. After a while, I feel much healthier.”

The clinic regularly maintains professional meetings, updates new treatment methods, and enhances training in preventive medicine, emergency medicine, and post-operative care. Medical staff adhere to examination and treatment procedures, maintain medical ethics, and avoid negativity, harassment, or inconvenience to patients. It is this seriousness and dedication that makes people feel secure when coming for examination and trust in entrusting their health to the "soldiers in white coats".

Many Cambodian border residents also expressed special affection for the doctors of the military and civilian medical clinic of Division 5. The cross-border medical examinations and treatments have become a "bridge" of solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia.

The Military-Civilian Clinic continues to set new goals: Improving the quality of medical examination and treatment, applying digital technology in medical management, expanding military-civilian medical cooperation, and strengthening mass mobilization programs combined with community health.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Minh Thuy - Chief of Military Medicine Division 5, emphasized: "Every medical officer and staff of the clinic is deeply aware that the greatest strength lies not only in professional qualifications, but also in the hearts of the people. When the hearts of the people turn to the army, when the people see the army as their relatives, any task, no matter how difficult, can be overcome"./.
