Construction of Huoi Bac Military-Civilian Medical Station started

(Baonghean.vn) -On January 13, the Organizing Committee of the Truong Son Campaign in coordination with the Provincial Border Guard Command and the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (Vietinbank) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a military-civilian medical station in Huoi Bac village, Bac Ly commune, Ky Son. Attending the ceremony was comrade To Hong Hai - member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department.

Construction commenced

The project, worth nearly 2 billion VND, when completed, will serve medical examination, treatment and health care for more than 3,000 ethnic minorities living in 7 villages of Bac Ly commune (Huoi Bac, Nhot Kho, Keo Pa Tu, Sam Thang, Cha Nga, Keo Nam, and Buoc village) and 2 villages of Dooc May commune (Huoi Kho and Nong Han).

Bac Ly is one of the poorest border communes in Nghe An province. Up to now, people often have to spend more than 5 hours walking from their homes to the clinic in the center of Bac Ly commune (nearly 12km) to see a doctor when they are sick. Because the roads are far and difficult to travel, people often treat themselves with leaves or invite shamans. The groundbreaking of the military-civilian medical clinic in the area will help people have conditions for on-site medical examination and treatment...

The project is expected to be put into use on International Labor Day, May 1st this year.
