Diverse health care services

(Baonghean) - In order to raise awareness of protecting one's own health, equipping women with useful information in detecting, preventing and promptly treating common gynecological diseases, Vinh International Hospital has implemented the "Free gynecological examination and screening program for more than 5,000 women in Nghe An province" since March 2016. To date, more than 3,000 women have received free gynecological screening support from the program.

Patients are visited, examined and consulted by doctors.

Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. It is considered a “silent killer” that threatens women’s health. However, 1/5 of women do not have knowledge or understanding of this disease and every year about half a million women get cervical cancer. The main reason for this is that women do not receive regular screening and there is no system for early detection of cancer through appropriate and accessible tests.

“Bringing the hospital model to the people” is an important goal for women to have the opportunity to experience comprehensive and professional health care services. Participating in the program of free examination and screening of gynecological diseases for more than 5,000 women in Nghe An province, women are examined by obstetricians, performed paraclinical indications such as: cervical examination, uterine and ovarian ultrasound and dispensed medicine completely free of charge.

In addition, women are also counseled to raise awareness, especially knowledge of cervical cancer prevention, and are advised to proactively go to medical facilities for regular gynecological examinations and follow-up examinations as instructed by medical staff, as well as improve their living and working environments to reduce the incidence of the disease.

The program went through 11 wards and communes of Vinh city and 2 neighboring districts of Nghe An province; examined and dispensed medicine to 3,570 women with gynecological diseases accounting for 80% and fibroids and ovarian cysts accounting for 5%. The program received deep attention from local authorities and was highly appreciated for the significance and dedication of the medical team and doctors in the examination and consultation work.

Ms. NT Hanh, 35 years old, in Nghi Long commune, Nghi Loc district shared: "Vinh International Hospital has really changed awareness and helped women understand the importance of regular health check-ups. I hope the hospital will organize more health check-up groups for women who have not had the opportunity to participate in the program."

The program "Free examination and screening of gynecological diseases for more than 5,000 women in Nghe An province" promises to continue to reach localities with difficult economic and medical conditions... In order to improve the quality of women's health care, helping people to have convenient and easy access to high-quality and comprehensive medical services.
