Presenting gifts to national contributors (Photo for illustration) |
Since 2017, in realizing the coordination program, military units and war veterans’ associations have contributed millions of working days to repair and newly build tens of thousands of kilometers of rural roads, irrigation canals, and more than 1,000 houses of different types.
They have inquired after and given gifts to policy households and families of needy officers and former officers, presented medical supplies to hundreds of military - civilian infirmaries and local health establishments, and provided free health check-ups, treatment, and consultation for millions of people.
The above activities have helped raise troops, war veterans, and people’s health, contributing to effectively implementing the national target programs on "new-styled rural area building" and "sustainable poverty reduction."
