Trusted address for mothers
According to statistics from the Buon Don Commune Health Station (Dak Lak Province), in the first 9 months of 2025, the whole area had 67 new pregnant women. Of which, 49 people were examined for the first time.
In addition, there were 161 confirmed births that were examined 3 times. In recent years, Buon Don Commune Health Station has encountered many difficulties in terms of facilities, equipment, lack of human resources and limited professional qualifications.
However, the unit still effectively implements primary health care for people, especially reproductive health care for women, especially ethnic minorities. Thanks to that, the station has become a trusted address for women in the area during "civilized" moments.
Ms. H. Hoa Kbuor (residing in Buon Don commune) shared: In recent years, women of reproductive age have felt very secure when coming to the health station. We have regular health check-ups and instructions on how to prevent diseases during pregnancy. In addition, the facilities at the station have been upgraded, helping us feel secure and confident.
Not only Ms. H Hoa, many young women in the area are also encouraged by grassroots health workers to go to their homes to participate in training and propaganda sessions.
In villages and hamlets, people are supported to update information on health maintenance and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
Creating trust among the people
Mr. Doan Quoc Dinh - Director of Buon Don Medical Center assessed that in recent years, thanks to resources from national target programs, the health sector has implemented many training sessions, propaganda, and raising awareness of women and their families about reproductive health care.
Thanks to that, Buon Don Commune Health Station and other grassroots units have gradually created trust with the people.
With the attention of authorities at all levels and the health sector, in recent times, many young women have been more proactive in periodic health check-ups, planning safe pregnancy and choosing to give birth at medical facilities. This is a positive sign, contributing to reducing the maternal and newborn mortality rates in ethnic minority areas.
Mr. Y Nham Nie - Head of Buon Don Commune Health Station said that we will continue to balance resources, coordinate with local authorities and the provincial health sector to synchronize many solutions to improve reproductive health for people.
Thereby, attracting more mothers to give birth safely at the station, reducing the number of referrals, saving time, costs and limiting travel difficulties for people.
