As part of the series of activities under the 9th Vietnam-China Border Defense Friendship Exchange, held in Lang Son (Vietnam) and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China), from April 12 to 13, at the People’s Committee headquarters of Dong Dang town, Cao Loc district, Lang Son province, a joint team of Vietnamese and Chinese military doctors organized free medical examinations, consultations, and medicine distribution for about 1,000 local residents, mainly the elderly and policy beneficiaries in Dong Dang town and Bao Lam commune, Cao Loc district.
The event was held by the Military Medical Department under the General Department of Logistics and Technology, Ministry of National Defense. Early in the morning of April 12, a large number of residents from Dong Dang town and Bao Lam commune gathered at the Multipurpose Hall of the Dong Dang Town People’s Committee for free health check-ups, consultations, and medication distribution.Mrs. Ha Thi Di, from Coc Toong hamlet, Bao Lam commune, shared:“I heard about the medical check-up and healthcare program for the people, so I came early to receive care. Many of us, especially the elderly who are still facing hardships, cannot afford regular visits to healthcare facilities. Being examined by Vietnamese and Chinese military doctors gives me peace of mind. I’m happy and feel that the friendship and solidarity between the peoples of Vietnam and China are growing stronger.”Reception areas, consultation tables, and examination rooms were arranged in a convenient and organized manner, with volunteers available to guide, support, and assist residents thoughtfully and enthusiastically.
