The Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children's Rights in coordination with the People's Committee - Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Tay Thanh ward (HCMC) has just organized the program "Health Station - Health Check and Raise Community Nutritional AWARENESS" with health check-ups, nutritional counseling and gift giving activities for more than 300 children and local people.
The program is part of the long-term orientation "For Vietnamese Children's Health", contributing to improving physical condition and raising awareness of nutritional care for future generations.
With a scale of 200 children and 100 elderly participants, the program not only focuses on children but also ensures that elderly people in the locality have access to practical health care activities.
Within the framework of the program, young children are given general health checks, nutritional status assessments and in-depth counseling by a team of doctors and pharmacists at Tay Thanh Ward Health Station. Through this, parents have more basis to understand the physical condition, digestive system as well as the ability to absorb nutrients of children, thereby proactively adjusting the care regimen appropriately and promptly.
At the same time, the elderly are also given general examinations, health advice and early screening support for common problems, contributing to improving the quality of life and preventing diseases early.
In addition to examination activities, the program also organizes thematic seminars to provide knowledge about the role of digestive enzymes in supporting the digestive system and enhancing nutrient absorption in children.
At the same time, nearly 300 health gifts sponsored by Pharmacity and MHD Pharma units were handed over to participants, not only carrying practical support meaning but also contributing to encouraging the formation of regular health monitoring habits - an important factor in preventing and improving nutritional problems, especially in young children.
According to Ms. Le Tuyet Mai - Vice President of the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children's Rights, putting children at the center is not only a responsibility but also the foundation for a human development strategy, contributing to building a prosperous, happy and sustainable country.
