Speaking at the awards ceremony, Dr. Vu Manh Cuong, Director of the Central Center for Health Education and Communication ( Ministry of Health ), said that communication plays a crucial role in guiding people to prevent and control diseases, improve health care knowledge, and fill information gaps on social media. In the digital age, doctors and medical professionals, in addition to their expertise in treatment, need to become health ambassadors, directly conveying accurate knowledge to the community.
