Leaders of Son Vi commune and Meo Vac General Hospital inspect the implementation of the program.

Chao Thi Phin from Phe Than village (Son Vi commune) expressed her joy at having doctors come directly to the commune to provide health check-ups. She noted that her old age and the difficult terrain made traveling to higher-level hospitals extremely difficult.

Local people have their health checked.

Son Vi is the most remote border commune of Tuyen Quang province, with ethnic minorities making up nearly 100% of the population. Although healthcare service for locals has always received due attention, access to quality medical services remains limited due to the harsh conditions of the mountainous border region. Therefore, local authorities actively disseminated information and announced the examination schedule to every village so that residents could actively participate in the program.
