On August 3 the Central Committees of the Vietnam Youth Federation and the Vietnamese Young Doctors’ Association, meeting in Hanoi, cooperated with the Nhat Nhat Pharmacy Co., Ltd to launch a campaign calling for a joint effort in caring old people’s health.


The two-month campaign will draw the participation of about 3,000 young doctors and 5,000 volunteers. It will provide free health check-ups, medicine and gifts for about 32,500 elderly and retired people in 63 cities and provinces nationwide, especially those in difficulty.


Apart from free eye operations and examinations, a broad range of activities will be organised to encourage people to donate organs and corneas in particular, and at the same time help raise public awareness about the demands of health care for the elderly.


Right at the launching ceremony, the organizing board provided free health check-ups and gifts to old people in Hanoi and 3,500 old people in Red river delta provinces.


The organizing board also announced the opening of Young Doctors’ Clubs in hospitals, health establishments in Hanoi and other provinces.


Seminars for the community’s health among young doctors in each province and city will draw the participation of 150 young doctors./.
