Zero-dong booth of doctors and medical staff in the mountainous region of Quang Ngai

The special zero-dong booth organized by the doctors and nurses of the Son Tay District Medical Center (Quang Ngai Province) has provided everything from milk, baby diapers to fish sauce, cooking oil, clothes, etc. to support the poor in mountainous areas for the past 6 years.

The zero-dong booth of doctors and nurses in the mountainous region of Quang Ngai has supported the poor in the mountainous region for the past 6 years.

In 2019, the “Zero-dong booth” by the Youth Union of Son Tay District Medical Center officially opened near the campus of the District Medical Center. This is a place to share essential items such as milk, baby diapers, fish sauce, cooking oil, clothes, etc. by doctors and nurses of the District Medical Center and Quang Ngai province to help share the difficulties with patients, relatives of patients being treated and people in the mountainous area of ​​Son Tay.

Sharing about the program idea, specialist doctor Pham Huu Nghia, Son Tay District Medical Center, said that, stemming from witnessing too many cases of patients coming for treatment with difficult circumstances, with the desire to share the hardship with patients, the doctors and nurses set up this booth.

According to the doctors, many mothers come to Son Tay District Medical Center to give birth but often lack the necessary items for newborns. Therefore, the team of doctors and nurses has prepared enough baby clothes and diapers from the "Zero-dong booth" to give to the mothers. In addition, relatives of the mothers can also come to the booth to receive clothes and milk support.

Mothers come to the booth to receive clothes, diapers, and milk for their babies.

The zero-dong stall of the doctors and nurses is known by many benefactors. There are people from Quang Ngai City, more than 80km away from Son Tay District, who also come to donate used clothes and necessities to the stall. After receiving them, the doctors and nurses divide them up to wash and arrange them neatly in the stall so that patients and relatives can easily choose.

Dr. Huynh Thi Thuan, Deputy Director of Quang Ngai General Hospital, and other benefactors regularly support the booth with diapers, milk, and baby clothes, helping mothers in mountainous areas overcome difficulties due to the lack of essential items after giving birth, especially in the context of limited economic conditions and difficult transportation. In particular, the Hematology Department (Provincial General Hospital) regularly donates old clothes and necessities to the booth twice a year.

The zero-dong booth has been maintained for the past 6 years at the Son Tay District Medical Center, Quang Ngai Province.

The zero-dong stall, maintained for the past 6 years, has become a trusted address for people in the mountainous region of Son Tay. More than 18,000 boxes of milk, 1,000 bottles of fish sauce, cooking oil, 1000 kg of rice, thousands of sets of clothes, more than 1,000 pairs of sandals, and 500 school bags have reached patients and their families.

The zero-dong booth is a social activity with profound humanitarian meaning, helping patients feel the care of doctors and nurses; at the same time, increasing the connection between medical staff and patients, encouraging and motivating patients to have more strength and will to fight the disease.
