As one of the key activities leading up to the 80th anniversary of the Traditional Day of the Vietnamese Military Medical Corps (April 16, 1946 - April 16, 2026), the Book Day "Vietnamese Military Medical Corps - 80 Years of Gratitude and Continuing the Legacy" displayed 29 valuable books about the glorious history of the Military Medical Corps; expressing profound gratitude to the generations of military doctors who have dedicated their lives to the cause of protecting and caring for the health of soldiers and the people.
Colonel Le Van Dong, Deputy Director of the Military Medical Department, stated that through the activities of Book Day, the organizing committee hopes to contribute to spreading and fostering pride in the glorious traditions of the Military Medical Corps; to inspire the spirit of learning, research, and emulation of previous generations among today's officers, staff, students, and soldiers. Each book, each story about veteran doctors, is a source of motivation for the younger generation of the Military Medical Corps to continue to cultivate political acumen, improve professional skills, and uphold the noble qualities of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" and military doctors in the new era.
"The books introduced are not only valuable resources that help today's generation better understand the history and traditions of the Military Medical Corps, but also profound lessons about the ideals, responsibilities, courage, and compassion of military doctors... We believe that the activities of Book Day will make a practical contribution to the education of traditions, fostering ideals, enhancing reading culture, and arousing professional pride throughout the Military Medical Corps," Colonel Le Van Dong shared.
The program also included three special panel discussions with the following themes: "Gratitude" - Commemorating the contributions of generations of military doctors; "My Teacher" - Upholding medical ethics, worthy of being called a soldier of Uncle Ho; "Following in the Footsteps" - Inheriting traditions, developing in the modern era, and confidently moving towards the future.
Sharing their experiences at the seminar, military medical officers and doctors who have dedicated themselves to the profession reminisced about battlefield stories and classroom lessons, from previous generations to the present day, affirming that the tradition of Vietnamese Military Medicine is not only written in victories but also in the passing of the torch between generations. From fierce battlefields to peacetime construction and development, countless names have become symbols of intelligence, courage, and noble medical ethics. They are the ones who laid the foundation, nurtured, and brought glory to the tradition of the Vietnamese Military Medical Corps.
Colonel Le Van Dong, Deputy Director of the Military Medical Department, emphasized that over 80 years of building, fighting, and maturing, the Military Medical Corps of the Vietnam People's Army has continuously developed, achieving many glorious accomplishments and making important contributions to the cause of caring for and protecting the health of soldiers and the people. During the wars to defend the Fatherland, generations of military doctors did not shy away from hardship and sacrifice, staying close to the battlefield, promptly treating wounded and sick soldiers, making important contributions to the victory of our army and people.
From fierce battlefields to lecture halls, laboratories, and hospitals, from command and management to scientific research and medical personnel training – in any position, generations of military doctors and medical instructors have always upheld a spirit of responsibility, medical ethics, and dedication to serving the troops and the people. Many exemplary figures in the military medical field have become beautiful symbols of the doctor-soldier, including heroes, professors, doctors, and generals, pioneers of the field who dedicated their lives to military medicine, medical science, and the building of the Army.
These exemplary figures and stories have been meticulously documented by subsequent generations in the books featured on Book Day. These are vivid historical accounts, recording the development of the Military Medical Corps; and simultaneously portraying the portraits and immense contributions of veteran doctors and military medical generals.
