Medical examination and treatment for people at Giang Son Tay Medical Station.

Giang Son Tay Commune Health Station was established in 2004. After a period of development, Giang Son Commune was divided into two communes (Giang Son Dong and Giang Son Tay). In 2007, Giang Son Tay Commune Health Station was officially established as one of the two primary medical examination and treatment facilities for people in remote mountainous areas of the district. In the difficult initial context, the infrastructure consisted of only a temporary 4-room house, and technical expertise did not meet the requirements. These difficulties directly affected the effectiveness of primary medical examination and treatment for local people.

Constantly struggling, in 2010, Giang Son Tay commune health station advised the commune People's Committee to issue a national standard project on health. Every year, the station staff proactively develops investment and procurement plans, establishes a Steering Committee to assign specific tasks to members. In particular, the station advises the Party Committee and People's Council of the commune to do a good job of socialization, issues a Resolution to mobilize people to contribute 30,000 VND/person/year, in 5 years mobilized over 120 million VND to invest, upgrade houses and working equipment. In 2015, the staff and employees of the entire unit mobilized organizations and individuals such as the Youth Union, Veterans, and the Fatherland Front to contribute tens of millions of VND to solidify fences, flower gardens, herbal medicine gardens, and auxiliary works. Thanks to that, in 2015, the commune health station achieved 10 national standard criteria on family health phase 2 of Do Luong district.

Medical staff of Giang Son Tay Medical Station always listen to people's opinions.
