She not only makes plans and documents, but also listens and shares with each member to promptly "prescribe and dispense medicine" for the silent concerns of the sisters. A text message asking about their well-being, a small gift sent at the right time, or sometimes just a smile of encouragement - is enough to make the members feel cared for. It is these simple things that have helped the women's movement of the Military Medical Academy avoid the "disease" of formality and gain more vitality.

When the Covid-19 pandemic broke out and became complicated, comrade Do Thi Mai Hoa became the "spiritual vaccine maker" for the group. With the slogan: "Each member is a soldier; each family is a fortress", she and her teammates mobilized nearly 3 billion VND in cash and medical supplies to send to the front line; advised and proposed to superiors to launch a campaign for women's associations of units under the Academy to join hands with people to consume agricultural products during the epidemic season... Each small action adds up to a comprehensive "health care regimen" for the movement. There were nights when she stayed up all night by the phone, making calls continuously to connect each contact. Sometimes, while holding her baby, she discussed ways to receive and transport medical supplies to the front line. "I just thought about how to make sure the brothers out there have enough masks and protective gear, and put family matters aside for later," comrade Hoa said. In addition, comrade Hoa also wrote many articles promoting the role models of women on the front lines, so that stories of sacrifice, bravery and humanity could spread like medicine to support the community's faith.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Do Thi Mai Hoa, for the women's movement to be strong, it must have "nutrition", which is joy. Therefore, comrade Hoa is always enthusiastic about each activity of the association, actively creating opportunities for female cadres and members to exchange, connect, express themselves, improve knowledge and life skills through cultural and artistic activities, physical education and sports , programs, and volunteer work...

Comrade Hoa's dedication has been recognized with many noble titles: "Outstanding female cadre" (2016-2021, 2021, 2024); certificates of merit from the General Department of Politics, the Ministry of National Defense and being recognized as a typical advanced female soldier in the period 2020-2025. But for comrade Hoa, the greatest reward is seeing the women's movement of the Academy increasingly deployed widely and attracting a large number of women.
