The leader made the praise at a
ceremony marking the 65th anniversary of Vietnamese Doctors’ Day (February 27),
where he described doctors and medical workers as “soldiers” on the front line
of epidemic
control.
Thanks to their contributions, Vietnam has achieved marked results in the fight
against COVID-19, he noted.
“However, we should stay vigilant and keep up our strong measures until the
epidemic is completely extinguished in order to ensure people’s life and
health,” the PM warned.
On this occasion, he paid tribute to doctors and nurses who died on the
battlefield during the past wars as well as during the struggle against
diseases, saying Vietnamese people always remember their sacrifice.
The leader also acknowledged the contributions of professors, doctors and
lecturers at medical schools nationwide and Hanoi Medical University (HMU) in
particular to both the training and health care sectors.
He urged the 118-year-old HMU to strive to be on par with other medical training
institutions in the region and meet international standards in the near future.
The HMU should gear towards a multi-sectoral medical university with a network
of special schools and modern hospitals, while paying more attention to
scientific-technological application, PM Phuc suggested.
He asked the university to maintain its leading position in medical training in
Vietnam, and step up scientific research and technological transfer to health
care facilities in the country./.
