In response to the 2025 Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign, on July 5th, the Youth Union of the Vietnam News Agency Information Center in the Southern region, the Youth Union of the Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital, in coordination with the Tay Ninh Provincial Youth Union and sponsors, organized the program "Young Doctors' Day Following Uncle Ho's Teachings, Volunteering for Community Health 2025" with the theme "Young Doctors Taking the Lead, Striving in the Digital Age" in Tan Tay commune, Tay Ninh province.

According to Huynh Long Ho, Secretary of the Youth Union of the Vietnam News Agency's Southern Region Information Center, the program is an opportunity to demonstrate the sense of responsibility, initiative, and compassion of youth union members; young doctors and medical professionals in community health care, especially for the elderly and people in difficult circumstances in rural, remote, and disadvantaged areas.

This further affirms the role and responsibility of young medical professionals and the Youth Union towards society, contributing to the cause of protecting, caring for, and improving the health of the people.
