250 people in Nghe An province received free cancer screening.
On August 14th, the Bright Tomorrow Fund, in collaboration with AIA Vietnam Life Insurance Company Limited, officially launched the “AIA Hope Journey” program for 2026 at Nghe An Oncology Hospital.
Nghe An is the first destination in a journey that will be implemented across four provinces and cities: Nghe An, Quang Tri, Da Nang, and Hanoi.
As part of the program, 250 people in Nghe An province received free screening for liver cancer and thyroid cancer.
Residents received clinical examinations, health consultations, abdominal and thyroid ultrasounds, liver function tests, and screenings for liver cancer risk. For cases with suspected symptoms, specialists from the Nghe An Oncology Hospital directly examined patients and prescribed additional advanced techniques to arrive at accurate and timely conclusions.

Along with the screening activities, the program awarded a total of 205 million VND to 41 patients, including 55 million VND to 11 cancer patients whose applications were approved by the Bright Tomorrow Fund, and 150 million VND to support 30 underprivileged cancer patients undergoing treatment at Nghe An Oncology Hospital, with each patient receiving 5 million VND.
According to the organizers, this support aims to help alleviate the financial burden of treatment and encourage patients and their families to persevere in their treatment journey.
Following Nghe An, the program is expected to continue at the Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi, the Da Nang Oncology Hospital, and K Hospital. The program aims to provide free liver and thyroid cancer screenings for 1,000 people in these four locations, while also supporting cancer patients in difficult circumstances. This is intended to raise awareness about proactive healthcare, expand opportunities for early cancer screening and detection, and provide patients with additional resources and confidence during their treatment.
Established in 2011, the Cancer Patient Support Fund – A Brighter Tomorrow, under the Ministry of Health, has implemented numerous activities to support patients nationwide. After more than 15 years, the Fund has supported over 53,400 cancer patients, with a total value exceeding 5 trillion VND.
