A female dentist with good medical skills and ethics in the northwestern mountain town of Nghe An

Until now, Ms. Cao Thi Phuong (Thai Hoa town) still has not forgotten the feeling of happiness when she escaped "death's door" during her labor in 2021 to recover her health and reunite with her family. That was thanks to the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, the care of the doctors and nurses at Tay Bac Nghe An General Hospital; including Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen, who did not hesitate to give her blood to save the lives of mother and child.

Ms. Phuong confided that she and her husband got married in 2013, but after 8 years of treatment at large and small hospitals, it was not until 2021 that she and her husband successfully conceived a baby boy and a baby girl. The family was overwhelmed with happiness when the due date came, the two babies were born healthy by cesarean section. However, nearly an hour after the surgery, Ms. Phuong suffered from hemorrhage and many life-threatening changes.

At this time, the most important thing is to give blood to the patient, but the blood reserve is lacking the blood type that matches hers. As soon as she got the information and knew that her blood type matched Ms. Phuong's, even though she was working in Quy Hop, Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen still urgently returned to promptly register to donate blood for the patient.

Together with 3 other colleagues, the blood donation was carried out quickly. Thanks to that precious blood source, Ms. Phuong was successfully treated and her health gradually recovered. After a short time, she was completely healthy enough to be discharged from the hospital and return home to be happy with her family.

In addition to helping patient Cao Thi Phuong, in more than 10 years of working in the medical field, Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen has also been a spiritual support for many poor patients and patients in difficult circumstances who need blood transfusions and support during emergency and treatment. Because she was born in a poor rural area, she understands the hardships of the people in the mountainous areas in accessing medical services. Therefore, over the years, she and the doctors who are members of the club have organized many volunteer trips to remote villages in the province to examine and dispense medicine to the people.

Sticking with the specialty of dentistry, Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen shared that her love for the medical profession comes from very simple things. That is when she witnessed relatives and children in the area where she lives suffering from oral diseases without the conditions to treat them. At the same time, realizing the growing need for cosmetic dentistry, she began to research in depth and focus most of her time on this field to bring more confident smiles to everyone.

In 2016, she decided to open the first dental clinic in Quy Hop district. With her tireless efforts, her clinic has become a trusted address for many people here in examining and treating dental diseases.

After the success of the first clinic, she has now expanded to build a chain of quality clinics in Dien Chau, Que Phong districts and Thai Hoa town. For her, customer satisfaction, their confident and satisfied smiles after leaving the clinic are the motivation for her to strive every day. Therefore, the chain of clinics is constantly equipped with the most advanced services and equipment and has successfully implemented many difficult techniques such as non-traumatic tooth extraction, cosmetic porcelain tooth restoration, and fixed orthodontics.

Not only known as a doctor with solid expertise and a spirit of volunteering for the community, Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen is also a multi-talented person who has won high prizes in many competitions such as: "Charming White Blouse", Propaganda Competition "Healthcare staff innovate style and service attitude towards patient satisfaction", "Beauty of union members". Most recently, Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen became known to many people when she played the main actress in the short film "What Mom Hasn't Told" which was highly appreciated in Nghe An.

Not only is she strong in her expertise, Dr. Nguyen Hai Yen has also achieved many achievements in competitions and extracurricular activities in the industry. Photo: NVCC

Ms. Yen shared: For more than 10 years working in dentistry, I always consider the joy of customers when they have a confident smile as my own happiness so that I can increasingly improve my skills and improve the quality of the clinics. Along with that, I always strive to do activities for the community, so that I can open my heart to difficult situations in life. From there, I contribute a small part to bring joy and happiness to everyone around me.
