To implement this meaningful program, since the beginning of 2017, Nghe An Newspaper, Golden City Joint Stock Company and Vinh Transport Hospital have coordinated to build a year-round program to organize medical examination and free medicine distribution for poor households and policy families in the province, with priority given to districts in Western Nghe An.

To encourage and share difficulties with the people in the West, each time they organize medical examinations and provide free medicine, the Trade Union and Youth Union mobilize members to contribute more money to buy gifts for the poor.

Therefore, in the first working trip to the poor in the remote Ky Son district, medical staff and doctors of Vinh Transport Hospital handed over many meaningful gifts worth nearly 10 million VND to the poor people in Ta Ca commune. In Ta Ca commune, 60 poor and elderly people were directly examined, consulted and given free medicine by medical staff and doctors of Vinh Transport Hospital.
