This is a very meaningful activity, aiming to bring medical services closer to the people and help people have the conditions to be examined to detect diseases early, and at the same time advise on timely treatment. In particular, through the communication at the free medical examination, it has helped people change their awareness, thereby being more conscious in medical examination and treatment, contributing to protecting and improving people's health.
