More than 7,000 residents in the cities of Hue and Dong Nai received access to free health check-ups through a series of programs initiated by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association. Held on July 11 and 12, the initiative represents a tangible implementation of the government's strategic policy to strengthen public health protection and improve healthcare quality nationwide.
The program marks a transformative shift from conventional curative models toward a promotional and preventive approach. Through this initiative, residents not only receive direct medical consultations but also undergo disease screening integrated with electronic health records. This step is expected to enhance early detection of health risks while managing population health data more accurately and sustainably.
In Dong Nai Province, specifically in Tri An Town, services included comprehensive examinations for thousands of residents across six communes. In addition to medical services, organizers distributed social aid including scholarships, school supplies, and nutritional supplements for children and underprivileged families. Similar support was provided in Hue through laboratory tests, X-rays, and electrocardiograms at local healthcare facilities.
This humanitarian effort involved cross-sector collaboration between the Ministry of Health, local governments, and various philanthropic organizations. The Vietnam Young Physicians Association emphasized that this event is part of a major 2026 campaign, with an ambitious goal to engage 25,000 young doctors to reach 150,000 people through direct examinations and 1.5 million people through AI-based screening.
Looking ahead, the Vietnam Young Physicians Association is committed to expanding universal health check-up models. By integrating digital technology and artificial intelligence at the primary healthcare level, the government hopes to build a more modern, inclusive, and equitable medical service system for all segments of society.
