The above activities were carried out with the spirit of turning towards the homeland's sea and islands to take good care of the health of fishermen in their work at sea to add more strength and power to protect the rights and sovereignty of Vietnam's sea and islands.

During this examination, doctors examined people's eyes, measured their blood pressure, examined their hearts, etc. and provided them with free medicine.

In addition, each person who goes to the hospital will also receive a gift from the health sector to encourage their spirit.

Also in the past two days, the Ministry of Health organized three training courses on first aid for fishermen due to accidents and injuries; surveyed the medical response capacity to serve fishermen at sea; prevented and controlled epidemics and treated and cared for fishermen when accidents and injuries occurred.

This is a practical activity of medical staff and doctors towards the homeland's sea and islands to help fishermen protect their health and provide timely first aid when they have accidents at sea while working offshore fishing./.
