The government's commitment to strengthening the public health system has received a significant boost from young doctors. Coordinated by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association and the Ministry of Health, a series of mass medical examination programs was successfully held in Hue City and Dong Nai on July 11–12. This initiative marks a concrete step in implementing Resolution 72-NQ/TW regarding the protection and improvement of public health quality.
This movement is not merely routine examinations, but a strategic effort to shift the paradigm from a curative model to proactive health management. Focusing on early detection and sustainable health management, each resident's examination results are directly integrated into the electronic medical record system and the VNeID application. This digitization step is expected to facilitate access to healthcare services for grassroots communities.
In the Hue region, thousands of residents gained access to specialist consultations, blood tests, and radiological examinations supported by professionals from Hue Central Hospital. Beyond clinical services, various forms of social aid—ranging from medical equipment for local health centers and nutritional supplements to support for cancer patients—were distributed to strengthen the health resilience of low-income families.
Echoing the activities in Hue, a similar program in Dong Nai targeted screenings for 6,000 residents in safe zones. Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen expressed his appreciation for the active involvement of young medical personnel in mobilizing local resources. He emphasized the importance of ongoing collaboration to expand access to more equitable and high-quality healthcare services across the country.
Throughout 2026, the Vietnam Young Physicians Association has set ambitious goals: providing consultation services to 150,000 people and screening 1.5 million citizens for diseases using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Through the integration of digital technology and local medical capacity building, these young doctors are optimistic about building a stronger and more modern national healthcare system.
