Cua Dong General Hospital wrapped 7,000 banh chung cakes to give to patients and staff.

This year, from January 22, temporarily putting aside the hustle and bustle of daily work, treating and saving people, the warm moments of working with colleagues to make Tet banh chung together make each member appreciate and attach more to the "common home of Cua Dong and Central Ear, Nose and Throat".

The ingredients for making the cakes are carefully selected by hospital staff and are meticulous in every step of the process. Photo: PV

Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Phuong - Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, Deputy General Director of Cua Dong General Hospital and Central ENT Hospital shared: “This is the 7th year the Hospital has organized the wrapping and giving of banh chung to patients and staff. This meaningful gift is the heart and passion of the Board of Directors, so all ingredients for making the cake are carefully selected and meticulously made in every step of the process.

Despite going through a difficult and worrying year due to the pandemic, Tet is an opportunity for us to give each other good things, together looking forward to the new year with optimism and trust. This year's activity of wrapping and giving banh chung is therefore even more meaningful, contributing to encouraging the spirit of patients and staff; reminding everyone to remember their roots, the humane and beautiful traditional culture of the Vietnamese people"./.
