At Yen Thanh General Hospital, we met Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy from Nam Thanh commune - a patient who was preparing to go through the discharge procedures.

She said that the surgery took less than 40 minutes, and the surgery was performed in the evening, and the next morning she was able to walk and do normal activities.

Assessing the transfer and successful application of many medical examination and treatment techniques of the health sector in recent times, Mr. Hoang Van Hao, Deputy Director of the Department of Health affirmed: The transfer and application of new techniques in medical treatment in recent times has been implemented quickly and effectively by all levels, sectors and units.
