Because unlike ordinary doctors, military medics carry two responsibilities: taking care of people’s health and fulfilling military duties. They stand in the hospital room, saving people from the brink of life and death, and are always ready to carry out special military duties.
This combination makes the work pressure of military doctors extremely high. Each critical case not only requires high expertise but also is a test of responsibility and perseverance.
To perform their roles well, military doctors constantly study, improve their skills and update medical advances. This is not only a professional requirement but also a testament to the spirit of “lifelong learning” of soldiers on the medical front.
For military doctors, the hospital is not the only limit of their work. They also undertake special missions, typically air ambulance flights. These are life-saving journeys in harsh conditions, sometimes facing the dangers of weather, terrain and time pressure.
The image of military doctors dedicated to their work is a symbol of the harmonious combination of the steely will of a soldier and the compassionate heart of a physician. In any role - from caring for patients to performing special military tasks - they always consider it a noble mission, a way to contribute to society and the country.
For military doctors, work is not only a responsibility but also a source of pride. They not only heal physical wounds but also play an important role in protecting sovereignty and maintaining people's trust in the Party, State and Army.
The 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2024) is an opportunity for us to once again express our respect and gratitude to the soldiers in white uniforms - people who both carry the compassionate hearts of doctors and the indomitable will of soldiers.
They are living proof of the core values of the Vietnam People's Army: Serving the people, ready to sacrifice to protect the Fatherland!
