Annually, Vietnamese Doctors' Day (27 February) serves as an occasion for society to honour, express gratitude, and deeply appreciate the tireless efforts of the medical and nursing workforce.
In 2021, the healthcare sector continued to endure a second consecutive year battling the pandemic; however, in return, 2021 was globally recognised when the World Health Organization (WHO) officially designated 2021 as the "Year of the Health and care workers" worldwide.
To honour and express gratitude to physicians who have dedicated their careers to the medical profession and the entire community, on 26 February 2021, Hanoi Medical University organised a Ceremony to Honour and Confer the Titles of People's Physician and Meritorious Physician.
The School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health is immensely honored to have two faculty members conferred the title of Meritorious Physician: Assoc. Prof. PhD. Kim Bảo Giang, Vice Director of the School and Head of the Department of Health Education and Promotion, and Assoc. Prof. PhD. Lê Thị Thanh Xuân, Head of the Department of Occupational Health.
Congratulations to both Meritorious Physicians!
We extend our best wishes to generations of physicians and healthcare personnel nationwide.
