During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always had special affection for the health sector. He advised: "Doctors must love their patients; patients entrust their lives to you; the Government entrusts you to treat illnesses and maintain the health of our people. That is a very glorious mission."

Imbued with and implementing his teachings, over the past 68 years, generations of Vietnamese physicians have always considered this a noble motto of action, a political responsibility to the People when entrusted by the Party and Uncle Ho; always united, striving to overcome countless difficulties and hardships, always inheriting and promoting the fine traditions of the medical industry.
