One of the meaningful activities that is highly anticipated by the people is the area of free health examination, consultation and medicine distribution by 7/5 Hospital (Dien Bien Provincial Police). Since 7am, hundreds of people have been lining up to wait their turn.
Holding the medicine bag that had just been given to her, Ms. Lo Thi Khet (70 years old, Tau Pung village, Muong Phang commune) said: "I often have pain in my bones and joints, especially when the weather changes. Hearing that there were police doctors coming to see me for free, I left early. The doctors asked about the medication, measured blood pressure, examined carefully and advised how to use the medicine.
Talking to Lao Dong, Lieutenant Colonel Dao Thanh Com - Deputy Director of 7/5 Hospital said that health examination, consultation, and free medicine distribution to people are regular tasks of the hospital.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Dao Thanh Comic, 7/5 Hospital not only has the task of examining and treating police officers and soldiers in the province and the police of Northern Laos provinces, but also coordinates with the health sector in community health examination and treatment activities, serving people of all ethnic groups, especially people in remote areas.
