Ms. Tran Thu Ha - Vice President of the Health Sector Trade Union confided: "To get enthusiastic response from the grassroots trade unions, we apply both reminders and examples through direct and online channels. Units that do well will be promptly recognized to encourage and create an exciting and competitive atmosphere among the staff. With the specific nature of the health sector, union officials also need to understand and encourage instead of just making requests. Grassroots trade unions such as the Mental Hospital, Oncology Hospital, Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, Endocrinology Hospital... are very active units in trade union activities in general and propaganda work in particular."
