During General Secretary To Lam's official visit to the UK, his wife Ngo Phuong Ly visited Evelina London Children's Hospital - one of the UK's most modern and prestigious medical facilities.

At the hospital, Dr. Owen Miller, Deputy Director in charge of medical affairs, together with Dr. Simon Filson and Dr. Florian Bast, gave an overview of the history, activities and cooperation between Evelina London and Vietnamese hospitals in the fields of surgery and medical training.

After hearing the introduction, Mrs. Ngo Phuong Ly visited the pediatric cardiology ward, kindly asked about and gave gifts to the children being treated at the hospital. She expressed her emotions when witnessing with her own eyes the world's leading advanced pediatric healthcare model.

The Lady emphasized that healthcare is always a field of concern for the whole society, directly linked to the quality of life, especially children's healthcare.

Appreciating the humanistic values ​​in Evelina London's healthcare model, the lady was moved to know that for many years, the hospital's doctors and nurses have participated in cooperation programs with Vietnam, directly examining, consulting and performing surgery for Vietnamese children.

“It is the golden hands and kind hearts of doctors that have lit up hope, giving a second life to many unfortunate Vietnamese children with illnesses,” the General Secretary’s wife shared.

She believes that helping children have “normal lives and brighter futures” is not only a medical achievement, but also a living testament to humanity and the connection between hearts, transcending all language and national boundaries.

Mrs. Ngo Phuong Ly said that in Vietnam, every year, many children are born with congenital defects. Although the country is developing rapidly, resources are still limited, especially in remote areas where children have difficulty accessing high-quality medical services.

Thanks to the expertise and kindness of Evelina London doctors, many Vietnamese children have had successful surgeries, can smile fully for the first time after cleft palate treatment or walk on their own two feet after complicated surgeries.

“It is a clear demonstration of the great significance of international medical cooperation and a beautiful symbol of friendship between Vietnam and the UK,” the General Secretary’s wife emphasized.

Highly appreciating the effective and humane cooperation model between Evelina London Children's Hospital and Vietnamese hospitals, Mrs. Ngo Phuong Ly hopes that this cooperation will continue to be expanded in the coming time, not only in medical examination and treatment, but also in training, research and development of a modern pediatric medical system for the healthy future of children of the two countries.
