Free examination, medicine and glasses
News from Hoa Khanh Ward Trade Union, Da Nang City on June 30 said: Hoa Khanh Ward Trade Union in coordination with Da Nang City Eye Hospital organized the eye health care program "Accompanying for bright eyes" at the Hall of the Ward Military Command.
This is a practical activity to care for the health of union members, workers and children in the area, contributing to improving the quality of life, and at the same time affirming the companion role of the Trade Union organization in social security work.
Participating in the program are 200 union members, workers and 50 children who are children of the labor force in the ward. All are examined for eyes, refractive measurements, in-depth counseling, and medicine and glasses are provided completely free of charge.
Before organizing, the Ward Trade Union Executive Committee had deployed registration according to actual needs, helping the coordination work to take place scientifically, ensuring that 100% of people named in the list were fully examined, without having to wait for a long time.
The highlight of the program is the high professional quality when the experienced team of doctors and nurses of Da Nang City Eye Hospital directly performs examination, consultation and treatment with the support of many modern ophthalmic equipment brought to serve in the locality.
Through the screening process, cases of diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma that are detected will be supported to be transferred to the City Eye Hospital for continued treatment and free surgery as directed by the doctor.
All in-depth examination costs, medicines, glasses, medical supplies and treatment and surgery costs are sponsored from socialized sources of Vietnam Health Clinic (VHC) and The Fred Hollows Foundation (FHF).
Efficiency in connecting and mobilizing resources
According to Mr. Tra Thanh Quang - Chairman of Hoa Khanh Ward Trade Union, the "Accompanying for Bright Eyes" eye health care program does not use the operating funds of the Ward Trade Union. And this shows the effectiveness in connecting and mobilizing social resources to bring practical benefits to union members and workers.
The program received positive responses from a large number of union members and workers. Many people expressed excitement when they had access to high-quality eye care services right in their locality without having to spend money.
Parents also highly appreciate the thoughtfulness and professionalism of the program when their children are thoroughly checked for vision and advised on eye protection measures.
The success of the program "Accompanying for Bright Eyes" not only contributes to protecting the vision health of workers and children but also continues to affirm the practical care and concern of Hoa Khanh Ward Trade Union for union members.
At the same time, it contributes to helping workers feel secure in their work, engage and contribute, and at the same time spread the humanistic meaning of socialization activities in the field of community health care" - Mr. Tra Thanh Quang said.
