Practical and effective companionship
According to the assessment of the leaders of Nghe An Provincial General Hospital and Nghe An Department of Health, the 2 Philips V680 ventilators donated by BAC A BANK - TH Group in collaboration with the For Vietnamese Stature Fund at this time are especially necessary and meaningful.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Duong Dinh Chinh: Nghe An is in the first phase of fighting the epidemic, focusing on monitoring, isolating and detecting for timely treatment. Up to now, the province has welcomed nearly 10,000 citizens from other countries for quarantine, of which nearly 7,000 cases are in centralized quarantine centers. With the efforts of the entire population in strictly implementing the Government's instructions, Nghe An has also received the contributions of the people, especially the very effective participation of businesses. In particular, TH Group has supported the province in all fields, always being the leading unit in support activities.

The donation of two new world-class ventilators is more meaningful at the present stage when Nghe An is preparing conditions to fight the epidemic at a higher level and treatment support equipment plays a very important role. The whole province currently has only nearly 200 ventilators, of which the Provincial General Hospital is the frontline unit but only has 60. The main source of supply is the US, while the US currently does not have enough production capacity to meet domestic demand at the present stage, so the equipment is very difficult. The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also pledged to direct the hospital to use the two ventilators in the most effective way.
Ms. Tran Thi Nhu Trang - Director of the Fund for Vietnamese Stature shared: Nghe An has implemented very good measures to prevent and control the epidemic. However, the epidemic's developments are still complicated and unpredictable. Donating ventilators is based on the results of a survey and understanding of Nghe An's needs in preventing and controlling the epidemic in the current period and the coming time, in order to come up with the most practical and effective form of contribution, hoping that Nghe An will have more resources to fight the epidemic when necessary.

Along with sponsoring 2 ventilators, at the ceremony, TH also presented 15,000 glasses of fresh milk to people in quarantine and medical staff of Nghe An General Hospital. This is a practical gift within the framework of the program "One million glasses of fresh milk to join hands to fight the Covid-19 epidemic" implemented by TH since March 10, when Vietnam began entering phase 2 of the fight against the epidemic with the most complicated developments of the epidemic.
The ventilator donation event and the 1 million cups of fresh milk program are highlights in a series of activities in the spirit of mutual love that TH Group, BAC A BANK and the For Vietnamese Stature Fund have carried out for the community since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in Vietnam.
Up to now, units led or directly led by Ms. Thai Huong (such as TH Group, BAC A BANK) through the For Vietnamese Stature Fund have joined hands to support more than 15 billion VND in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic through activities such as sponsoring 5 billion VND to buy medical equipment and masks for hospitals, implementing the program of giving 1 million glasses of TH true MILK (worth more than 8 billion VND) to frontline forces, sponsoring ventilators, and other volunteer activities of BAC A BANK and TH Group employees.

“Fighting the epidemic is like fighting the enemy, so all Vietnamese people are showing solidarity and unanimity in the fight against this epidemic. In addition to the spirit of volunteerism, for each person, this is also part of the responsibility of individuals and businesses to accompany the Government and the community in difficult times” - Ms. Thai Huong, General Director of Bac A Commercial Joint Stock Bank - Founder - Chairman of TH Strategy Council - Chairman of the Fund for Vietnamese Stature affirmed.
