All for the health of workers
Ms. Le Thi Quang Son, Head of the Labor Affairs Department of the Quang Tri Provincial Federation of Labor - said that in order to meet the conditions for organizing free health check-ups for workers, the provincial Trade Union officials had to "run around". As the health examination at Vinh Linh Regional General Hospital has just taken place, the Provincial Federation of Labor has coordinated with the Trade Union of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province to approach pharmaceutical and medical supplies companies to ask for support. If you want medicine and medical supplies, you must contact Quang Tri Provincial Eye Hospital, Vinh Linh Regional General Hospital for human resource support for medical examination...
"For a free medical examination program to be successful, we have to mobilize many resources, fortunately we have the support of other units" - Ms. Le Thi Quang Son said.
