Professor, Dr. Thai Hong Quang

PV:Could you please tell us the purpose and significance of organizing the 8th Central Region Endocrinology - Diabetes - Metabolic Disorders Conference?

Professor, Dr. Thai Hong Quang:The organization of the 8th Central Region Endocrinology - Diabetes - Metabolic Disorders Conference is very important and valuable in terms of disseminating scientific knowledge. Firstly, the conference creates conditions for scientists in the field of Endocrinology and Metabolism in localities in the Central region to present their works to a large scientific council; thereby reporting on the scientific work situation of themselves and their localities; while encouraging scientists, especially young scientists, to be more enthusiastic and go deeper into scientific research. Secondly, the conference will have many leading domestic and foreign experts in the field of Endocrinology and other fields related to research projects and topics. Delegates attending through listening to reports will approach and learn new knowledge to shape the next directions for themselves and their units. Doctors participating in the conference will gain many useful things to help them in their practical and clinical activities.

PV:Sir, to organize a scientific conference like this Central Region Endocrinology - Diabetes - Metabolic Disorders Conference, what conditions must the host organization meet?

Professor, Dr. Thai Hong Quang:To assign the right to host a scientific conference, the unit or locality itself must meet the following four criteria: First of all, the hosting unit must have scientific activities in the fields of endocrinology, metabolism, and diabetes - only then will the conference truly have a widespread effect. Nghe An meets this criterion: Nghe An province is one of the few localities with an endocrinology hospital and Nghe An Endocrinology Hospital is a well-functioning unit. The staff here is united, dynamic, enthusiastic, eager to learn, and has deep relationships with central hospitals, medical universities, military medical academies, and leading scientists. The hospital has taken advantage of this relationship to apply and develop science and technology in disease treatment at its unit.

Second criterion, the Conference must be of interest to local authorities and agencies. Nghe An Province and Nghe An Department of Health have shown special attention and focus on the prevention and control of diabetes - "non-communicable pandemic".

The third criterion is that the locality must be a cultural land with many unique cultural and historical values ​​so that the conference participants have the opportunity to learn, study and broaden their horizons. And the final criterion is that transportation must be convenient.

PV:This is the first time the Central Endocrinology - Diabetes - Metabolic Disorders Conference is held in Nghe An. How do you evaluate the preparation work of the host unit?

Professor, Dr. Thai Hong Quang:It must be said that the preparation for the conference has been very thoughtful and scientific by Nghe An province, the Department of Health, and Nghe An Endocrinology Hospital. The conference has gathered many scientists in the field of Endocrinology and related fields in the Central region in particular and the whole country in general; There are nearly 100 scientific research projects and the latest overview topics registered to report at the conference; leading professors have been invited to participate in presenting and running the conference... All of this will ensure the conference is a great success.

PV:Thank you Professor, Dr. Thai Hong Quang for this interview!
