To prepare for this mission, Hanoi Medical University dispatched an advance team to work with the leadership and health sector of Bac Ninh Province. Also on 20 May, Hanoi Medical University sent two clinical physicians to the Yen Phong epidemic region alongside the university's delegation to provide online training for the local healthcare workforce.
Addressing concerns regarding students wearing protective suits in hot weather conditions, which may cause itching and rashes, Prof. Ta Thanh Van shared: "We have implemented solutions utilizing standard-compliant protective gear. Simultaneously, we have instructed those wearing protective suits on adequate hydration and electrolyte supplementation throughout their operational duties."
Delivering parting advice to the students before their departure, Prof. Ta Thanh Van emphasized that Hanoi Medical University students must uphold professional exemplary conduct. "This is an exceptional opportunity for you to learn, observe community-based situations, gain practical knowledge, and build social networks," stated Prof. Ta Thanh Van.
