On 20 May 2022, the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SPMPH) and its distinguished staff members were awarded Certificates of Merit by the Central Propaganda Department and the Office of the Party Central Committee.
The SPMPH, Hanoi Medical University, was entrusted by the University's COVID-19 Steering Committee to directly implement COVID-19 vaccination tasks from the very beginning, starting on 26 April 2021.
The vaccination team served not only medical staff and personnel but also officials and civil servants from central agencies in Hanoi, including the Office of the President, the Office of the National Assembly, the Office of the Party Central Committee, the Office of the Government, the Central Inspection Committee, and various other central departments and sectors.
Despite the numerous challenges and pressures during the peak of the pandemic, the staff and personnel of the SPMPH vaccination team remained committed, working with the utmost dedication and responsibility. Often, the workload required continuous service from early morning until late at night (from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM), seven days a week. Yet, no member of the vaccination team showed indifference or a lack of responsibility, as everyone wished to contribute their small part to the nation's success in combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
In recognition of their dedicated efforts and contributions, the SPMPH, Hanoi Medical University, has been acknowledged and awarded numerous Certificates of Merit, commendations, and awards by central agencies, the Ministry of Health, and the University. Specifically:
