From September 11 to 27, the Military-Civilian Medical Clinic, Economic-Defense Group 337 (Military Region 4) coordinated with the Health Stations of Huong Phung, Huong Lap, Khe Sanh and A Doi communes (Quang Tri) to organize many medical examinations, health consultations, and free medicine distribution for people.
The activity is part of the unit's mass mobilization and new rural construction program.
Regardless of the long distance, the team of doctors, nurses and young volunteers of Group 337 enthusiastically examined, diagnosed, provided health advice and distributed medicine to the people.
Along with that, people are also educated about disease prevention, environmental hygiene, family planning and proper nutrition.
Coming to the Medical Center very early with a cane, Mrs. Ho Thi Un (85 years old, in Prin Thanh village, A Doi commune) emotionally said: "I have had spinal degeneration for many years, it is very difficult to walk.
We rarely have the opportunity to go to a far away hospital. When we heard that a doctor from Group 337 came to the commune to examine and give medicine, we were very happy. The doctors were dedicated and thoughtful, we felt much more secure."

Similarly, unable to hide her joy, Ms. Ho Thi Bon, 43 years old, in Ma Lai Pun village, Huong Phung commune, shared: "I have heart disease and high blood pressure, and every month I have to go to the hospital, which is very expensive. Now I can get free medical examination and medicine right in the locality, which reduces the burden of expenses for my family and makes me feel more excited."
According to statistics, 1,300 people in remote and extremely disadvantaged communes received medical examinations and medicine this time.
Specialist Doctor 2 Tran Anh Tuan - Deputy Director in charge of Huong Hoa Regional Medical Center - commented: "We really appreciate the activities of Economic - Defense Group 337. This is not only a sentiment, but also a responsibility, demonstrating the bond between the army and the people. Thanks to that, people feel more secure in production, together keeping the border peaceful".
In addition to the task of taking care of the health of officers, soldiers and people, for many years, the Military-Civilian Medical Clinic of Group 337 has regularly organized medical examinations and provided free medicine to the poor, policy families, and people in remote areas.
The extended trips have further fostered trust and close ties between the army and the people.
The images of soldiers in white blouses, carefully measuring blood pressure, listening to each breath, holding each suffering hand of the border people... have left warmth and trust in the hearts of the people.
