At Tay Ho Ward clinic, residents underwent health examinations. "I come here for a free health check-up under the new program. The procedures are quite quick, and the doctors give us attentive guidance. It’s convenient to have regular check-ups right in our community. It gives us greater peace of mind and helps detect any health problem."

"In the past, I felt hesitant to go for a check-up. Now the government provides free examinations at local clinics, we're very pleased. The doctors advise us on diet and healthy living. This is a very meaningful program."

The free periodic health check-up and disease screening program are being carried out in 49 communes and wards in Hanoi on Wednesday and Thursday, before being expanded citywide.
