Annually, Vietnamese Doctors' Day (27 February) is an occasion for society to honour, express gratitude, and acknowledge the tireless efforts of physicians and medical staff.
In 2021, the healthcare sector entered its second consecutive year of battling the pandemic; however, 2021 was globally recognised as the "Year of the Health and Care Workers" by the World Health Organization (WHO).
To honour and express deep appreciation to physicians who have dedicated their careers to the medical profession and public health, 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 proud to have two faculty members conferred the title of Meritorious Physician: Assoc. Prof. PhD. Kim Bảo Giang, Vice Director 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.
Warmest congratulations to the two Meritorious Physicians!
We extend our best wishes to generations of physicians and healthcare workers nationwide.
