PANO - On the occasion of the 117th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh and the upcoming 12th National Assembly Election, the Military Hospital 121 under Military Zone 9 has sent doctor teams to remote areas in the Mekong Delta.

Each team of 2 doctors, 4 physicians and some assistants will provide free check ups, treatment and medicines for poor and Khmer people there.

The hospital has also spent 18 million VND to treat patients on the spot in local areas where poor road systems prevented them from going to medical stations.

In addition, the military has cooperated with local health care centres to provide treatment for people.
