Binh Dinh provincial Military Command provides health examination for Lao people

This year, a delegation of doctors and nurses from military and civilian medical establishments, led by Deputy Political Commissar of the provincial military command Senior Colonel Nguyen Xuan Son, visited and extended New Year's greetings, presented gifts, and provided free health checkups and medicines for the people in Kachit village cluster, Champasak province’s Ba Chieng district and Lanhao village cluster of Attapeu province’s Samakkixay district. 

Locals receiving gifts

The mission presented 200 gift packages, worth VND 500,000 each, to locals in Kachit and Lanhao village clusters. Each gift package comprising fish sauce, salt, instant noodles, cooking oil, and dried fish, was handed over to needy households to help them have joyful and cozy festival.  In addition, the provincial military command donated VND 180 million to support 12 families in Champasak and Attapeu provinces to repair their houses.

Having had their health checked and received gifts from the delegation, all recipients expressed gratitude to the Vietnamese soldiers. They were happy that from now on they no longer worry when it rains.

According to Doctor Do Xuan Hoa from the provincial General Hospital, in addition to providing health examinations, the medical staff coordinated with local authorities to instruct locals on how to prevent common diseases.

Locals having their health checked

According to Col. Son, this is an annual activity of the provincial military command on the Lao people’s Bunpimay traditional festival. Healthcare program and gift presentation activities have further beautified the image of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the Lao people’s hearts, thus strengthening the special solidarity between the two parties and states in general and between the Binh Dinh provincial Military Command and Champasak and Attapeu provincial Military Commands in particular.
