Sharing about their years of dedication to patients, the doctors have countless memories of the times they promptly detected and successfully treated difficult cases and patients suffering from life-threatening illnesses…
He recalled that most recently, he and the hospital team promptly detected and treated patient Ngo Tan Phung (95 years old), who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and had multiple underlying conditions. Performing major surgery on such a special case was very difficult, but Dr. Cong and his colleagues carefully consulted and developed a detailed plan before proceeding with the surgery. With the strong support of the anesthesia and resuscitation team, the surgery was successfully completed after 2 hours, and after 3 weeks, the patient returned to normal activities.
A doctor's greatest happiness lies in helping many patients overcome their illnesses and regain their health. The health and confidence of our patients are a great source of motivation that makes us love and dedicate ourselves to this profession even more.
The "golden" generation building hospitals
During his time at Cua Dong General Hospital, Dr. Cong not only demonstrated his personal capabilities and pioneered the adoption of new techniques, contributing to improving the effectiveness of medical examination and treatment at the unit, but he was also one of the active "key figures" belonging to the "golden generation" in building and developing the Department and the hospital.
In the early days when Dr. Cong took over as Head of the General Surgery Department, the facilities were inadequate, equipment was not standardized, the professional skills of the medical staff were uneven, and opportunities to update new techniques were limited. With the support and assistance of the hospital's leadership, and by playing a leading role, Dr. Cong motivated his colleagues to improve their skills and professional capabilities.

To date, the Department of General Surgery has undergone a transformation with increasingly modern and synchronized equipment, and the quality of medical examination and treatment has continuously improved. The department has mastered new techniques: laparoscopic gastrectomy, colorectal surgery, laparoscopic thyroidectomy, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic esophageal myoma resection, laparoscopic liver resection, laparoscopic nephrectomy… equipped with a harmonic scalpel system, a modern laparoscopic surgical system, and a laser lithotripsy system for urinary stones…
Recognizing his professional competence and being promoted to the position of Deputy Director of the Hospital, in his managerial role, Dr. Thai Doan Cong has contributed to the Hospital's leadership in implementing solutions for the Hospital's development. Over the years, Cua Dong General Hospital has continuously expanded its scale and improved the quality of its medical services, applying comprehensive examination, treatment, and healthcare procedures for patients, according to the modern standards of a "hospital-hotel"; becoming one of the reputable general hospitals in Nghe An province and the North Central region.
The Certificates of Merit awarded to Dr. Thai Doan Cong by the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Health are testament to his significant contributions to the hospital's development over the past years. Above all, for this passionate physician, the trust and affection of his patients is the most precious recognition.
