Manulife organizes free health check-ups for more than 2,000 people in Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong

ANTD.VN - On November 23 and 24, Manulife Vietnam cooperated with the Vietnam Young Physicians Association to organize the "Healthy Living Every Day" festival with more than 2,000 free health check-ups for people in Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong .

This is one of the practical activities in phase 2 of Manulife's "Clean - Smart - Green Living" community program.

In the two localities above, nearly 100 doctors of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association directly screened for HP bacteria and stomach cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, helping people to detect early the risk of contracting the most common cancers today. In addition, people also received free general health check-ups with steps such as cardiovascular and diabetes examination, ultrasound, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, blood sugar and blood lipid tests, osteoporosis measurement...

Present at the event "Live Healthy Every Day" very early, Ms. Le Thi Xinh (Trieu Son district, Thanh Hoa province) shared: " I have worked in a factory environment for many years, sometimes I wonder if I have a tumor or fibrosis, so I registered to participate in this health check-up program. I was screened for HP bacteria, stomach cancer, breast cancer... If I went to the hospital for a check-up myself, it would probably be equal to half a month's salary working in the factory" .

At the event in Hai Phong, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy - President of the Vietnam Youth Union of Hai Phong City said: " The fact that Manulife brings thousands of free medical examination opportunities to people not only has great humanitarian significance but also has practical value for the lives of people here, because many of them do not have the conditions to carry out such general and in-depth examination programs". "We always welcome and create conditions for businesses to join hands with the locality to carry out practical social security programs", Ms. Thuy added.

Master Nguyen Huu Tu - Permanent Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Young Physicians Association shared: "In order for these meaningful and practical events to reach the people, we cannot fail to mention Manulife Vietnam from the initial ideas to when they became reality.

Manulife’s active participation in social activities not only demonstrates its social responsibility but also affirms the role of the business in building a healthy and sustainable community. This is a typical model for cooperation between social organizations, health care and businesses in creating practical values ​​for the community.”

Thanh Hoa and Hai Phong are two provinces that were heavily affected by typhoon Yagi. Therefore, through this "Healthy Living Every Day" festival, Manulife hopes to contribute to health care and support people's lives after natural disasters.

These are also the first two localities out of six provinces and cities where Manulife Vietnam organizes the “Healthy Living Every Day” festival. This series of events is expected to bring more than 10,000 free medical examinations to soldiers, demobilized soldiers, students, youth, meritorious people, policy families and ordinary workers in Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Da Nang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

After the medical examination, people are given prescription medicine.

The “Live Healthy Every Day” festival is one of the meaningful highlights throughout the “Live Clean - Smart - Green” community program since its launch. In phase 2 of this community program, in addition to the free medical examination days, Manulife also offers many other outstanding activities such as: “Show Off” Health Challenge - encouraging people to “show off” their “Clean - Smart - Green” lifestyle: healthy, balanced and sustainable in terms of physical, mental and financial aspects; a series of vodcasts in collaboration with many experts on healthy living topics; building an online community “Clean - Smart - Green” to connect and share healthy living tips…
