Politburo member and Secretary the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Dinh La Thang on February 22 visited and congratulated Professor, Dr Tran Dong A on the occasion of Vietnam Physicians’ Day (February 27).
Politburo member Thang expressed his gratitude for the dedication of Dr A, former deputy director of the Children's Hospital 2, for the country's health sector in general and HCM City in particular.
He wished the professor good health to continue to contribute his talent and scientific works to the City’s healthcare and to the cause of medical human resources training.
Dr A suggested the City’s authorities form multiple specialties with more skilled practitioners. In addition, he proposed developing a family doctor model to address the root problem of the current overload at medical facilities.
As a skilled doctor, Dr A is well known both at home and abroad for a surgery to separate twins in 1988. Similar surgery had never been performed as one twin suffered cerebral palsy and they only had three feet.
Dr A has been honoured with the Labour Medal and the noble titles of People's Doctor and Labour Hero.
