The program, titled 'Caring for the Health of Older People – For a Healthy Vietnam 2026,' is designed to support the implementation of Resolution 72, which calls for stronger protection, care and improvement of public health.
Doctors from several central-level hospitals took part in the program, including facilities in oncology, endocrinology, nutrition and traditional medicine.
Services included blood pressure measurement, height and weight assessment, nutritional risk screening, blood count tests, abdominal ultrasound scans, electrocardiograms and chest X-rays, based on clinical indications.
Participants were also given guidance on physical activity and nutrition and introduced to a digital health management application that enables remote monitoring and AI-assisted medical consultations.
Organizers said more than 1,000 nutrition packages were also distributed to participants, along with additional Lunar New Year gifts for elderly residents in the local community.
