As February arrives, we are all reminded of Vietnamese Doctors' Day, a special day of tribute to the “white-coat warriors” – those who are dedicated to healing patients day and night.
Vietnamese Doctors' Day on February 27th is a significant milestone for the entire healthcare sector. This annual observance serves as an opportunity to express gratitude and provide moral support to medical professionals for their tireless efforts in saving lives and serving the community..jpg)
On February 27, 1955, President Ho Chi Minh sent a letter to the Conference of Health Sector Officials, providing guidance on the duties of the Vietnamese healthcare sector in protecting public health, building our national medicine, and contributing to the development of global medicine. Subsequently, in commemoration of this event, the Council of Ministers decided on February 27, 1985, to designate February 27th annually as Vietnamese Doctors' Day – the traditional day of the healthcare sector, with the aim of honoring the dedication of medical staff, doctors, and physicians.
Above all, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has spread over the past two years, when medical staff have had to set aside their personal lives and happiness to step onto the fierce front lines of the pandemic, Vietnamese Doctors' Day has become more meaningful than ever..jpg)
In addition to achievements in clinical practice, education, and training, the medical staff and physicians of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SPMPH) – Hanoi Medical University have made significant contributions to the national effort in combating the COVID-19 pandemic.On the occasion of Vietnamese Doctors' Day, February 27th, we wish all doctors and medical staff good health, happiness, and great success in their noble mission of saving lives!
