Doctor Dinh Thi Tho (42 years old), a Ca Dong ethnic, working at the Son Dung Commune Health Station, Son Tay District, has been attached to the medical industry for 16 years. Born and raised in a mountainous district with many difficulties and hardships, witnessing many days of hunger and lack of medicine, that urged Ms. Tho to pursue a medical career to treat and save people. Having worked with a spirit of dedication for a long time, she overcame all difficulties, accompanied the Ca Dong people to eliminate backward customs and access modern healthcare.
Doctor Dinh Thi Tho confided: I myself was born and raised in a mountainous area, so I understand the hardships of people in medical examination and treatment. Therefore, when people need medical examination and treatment, day or night, doctors and nurses are always ready to support.
Along with examining and treating people, Ms. Tho also effectively implements propaganda, disease prevention and control in the community. Thanks to the perseverance and perseverance of her and her colleagues, people increasingly trust the health workers and gradually change their thinking and actions, proactively go to health stations for examination and treatment when they are sick; eat cooked, drink boiled water; get their children and grandchildren fully vaccinated.
24 years ago, nurse Nguyen Van Thanh (50 years old, from Nghia Lam commune, Tu Nghia district, Quang Ngai province) was sent to Son Tay district for work. From here, the medical profession has planted in his heart memorable memories with the people of the highlands. Disagreements in language, living and working conditions are difficult, causing many young health workers to quit their jobs. But Mr. Thanh has stayed with the profession and is determined to stick with the Son Tay highlands.
nurse Nguyen Van Thanh - Son Bua Commune Health Station, Son Tay District - confided: "I have been attached to the Ca Dong people for 24 years. Being loved by the people, I want to see and treat people until I retire".
Mr. Thanh was originally paralyzed in his leg and could not move as easily as others. But that is not an obstacle that prevents him from returning to the community and providing primary health care for people at the grassroots level. Not only dedicated and enthusiastic, Thanh is also a person who is always exemplary, sociable, and actively participates in local movement activities.
In mountainous areas, especially in remote villages and hamlets, transportation is difficult. Especially on rainy days, the road is muddy and slippery. But those difficulties could not stop the footsteps of doctors who were devoted to the patient.
Mr. Thanh's enthusiasm for his work has given his colleagues more energy. People and colleagues not only admire him and her for his sincerity, harmony, always proactively learning, fostering expertise and professionalism, but also regularly share and encourage colleagues, being ready to help patients in difficult circumstances.
Doctor Chau Nguyen Thuong - Director of Son Tay District Medical Center - expressed: "Doctor Dinh Thi Tho and nurse Nguyen Van Thanh are outstanding individuals in the work of medical examination and treatment for people in the Son Tay highlands, especially during the period of fighting the COVID-19 epidemic".
