Along with households, meals are also delivered to special locations. Specialist Doctor I Nguyen Van Chien - Deputy Director of Yen Bai Regional Medical Center said: "When the center was isolated due to deep flooding on the roads, many patients were still being treated as inpatients and could not go out.
