In 2023, Pham Huu Nam, a worker of Team No.6 in Company 72, Corps 15 had a labor accident that required long-term treatment, affecting his health and income.

“When I was in the hospital, leaders at all levels and Trade Union chapters not only visited and inquired after me, but also sent teams to support my family to harvest rubber latex. On the occasion of Tet, Corp 15 and Company 72 also presented gifts to my family. I was so happy because, in the hardest conditions, we were not left behind,” held Nam.

Not only laborers of Army Corps 15, but also thousands of people, especially those from ethnic minority groups in the border provinces of Gia Lai, Kon Tum, and Quang Binh received due care from leaders of the corps.
