Young doctor from Nghe An registers to donate organs to save lives.

(Baonghean.vn) - Dr. Tran Quoc Khanh (34 years old), a Master's degree holder and physician from Thanh Duc commune, Thanh Chuong district, is known as a compassionate doctor at Viet-Duc Hospital in Hanoi. Recently, he voluntarily registered to donate tissues and organs to help people suffering from serious illnesses.

In a conversation with Dr. Khanh after work at the hospital, he said: "As a doctor, I have witnessed and understood the suffering of patients with terminal illnesses. Many of them yearn to prolong their lives through organ transplantation; but currently, organ sources are extremely scarce. Therefore, to share with patients, I have voluntarily registered to donate tissues and organs after death, without any conditions attached."

With the philosophy of "life is about giving," and "giving while you still can," registering to donate organs after brain death to save those suffering from terminal illnesses is one of the noble deeds of Master's Degree holder and Doctor Tran Quoc Khanh towards poor patients in particular and public health in general.

Dr. Khanh was born and raised in Suon hamlet, Thanh Duc commune, Thanh Chuong district, and later returned to his paternal hometown in Loc Ha (Ha Tinh province) to study. His entire student life and university years were a struggle to overcome poverty.

He was a National Outstanding Student in Biology and was admitted directly to Hanoi Medical University. After graduating, he continued his studies for three years as a resident physician. In 2008, Dr. Tran Quoc Khanh was transferred to the Spinal Surgery Department at Viet-Duc Hospital in Hanoi, where he has worked ever since.

With a solid foundation of knowledge and a passion for his work, he is not only a surgeon who consistently performs his professional duties well, earning the trust and admiration of his colleagues, but also a compassionate physician. Over the years, he has mobilized businesses and organizations to conduct free medical examinations and treatments, donate gifts to the poor in the northern and central provinces, and participate in the "rural book program"...

He also enthusiastically participates in health consultation programs on VOV (Vietnam Radio), actively writes articles for newspapers and specialized magazines to provide knowledge about the prevention, treatment, and examination of cancer... With a concise and easy-to-understand writing style, he often shares articles on his personal Facebook page to spread awareness in the community, and participates in free talks about health and nutrition at several companies, factories, and agencies around Hanoi...

In particular, recently, he has also been live-streaming on his personal Facebook page every Wednesday night to share knowledge about nutrition, bone and joint health, and answer patients' questions. This program is gaining attention and support from the online community, with tens of thousands of followers. This is also the program he is most passionate about, hoping to "help people learn more about common health knowledge."

He shared: "Bringing health knowledge to everyone, everywhere, is not only a passion but also a concern and responsibility of mine, along with other doctors, to contribute to raising awareness of preventive health care for the people and the community."

Both in the hospital and in everyday life, Dr. Tran Quoc Khanh always leaves an impression of sincerity and openness. Behind that radiant smile are the concerns and anxieties of a dedicated physician. It seems that the images of the impoverished rural areas of Nghe An province from his childhood, including his family, constantly remind the young doctor to strive tirelessly on his journey of healing and saving lives, especially those in poverty.

Speaking about his decision to register as an organ donor, he simply shared: "While I'm alive, I will do my best for public health, and when I leave this world, I would like to contribute a part of my body to help those suffering from serious illnesses prolong their lives."
