More chances of life for many patients
During the fourth outbreak from May 2021, Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces saw a rapid increase in the number of infected people in a short period of time. The health sector made great efforts to treat severe patients, control and reduce the death rate of Covid-19 patients.
However, when infected with Covid-19, many patients suffer from respiratory failure very quickly, and field hospitals have installed ventilators but still cannot meet the demand.

“The field hospitals are in dire need of additional equipment to save lives and provide the best care for patients. There is a 500-bed field hospital but only 200 high-function ventilators (ensuring invasive and non-invasive ventilation)… The Ministry of Health hopes and calls for the joint support of businesses and philanthropists nationwide.”
“Another ventilator means more chances of life for many patients. From the Minister's call, our company wishes to contribute our part, first of all as citizens of Vietnam, to support some essential medical equipment to save people during the pandemic. We are very grateful that the Ministry of Health, hospitals, and localities have respectfully received our hearts” - Ms. Thai Huong - Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Joint Stock CompanyTH True Milk; Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Bac A Commercial Joint Stock Bank shared.“At this time, the health of nearly 100 million people is the most important thing. The Government is making efforts for that and always cares for and encourages businesses and people, in order to mobilize the strength of the whole people to unite to fight the epidemic. From there, every business and every individual has the opportunity to demonstrate their social responsibility.”
