The largest ever program of its kind realizes the city’s goal of providing at least one annual health check-up for every resident, marking a shift from treatment-focused care to preventive healthcare, early detection and timely intervention.
“Residents will no longer need to travel to higher-level facilities, as high-quality services are now available at the grassroots level, helping save time and transportation costs,” said Doctor Quach Kim Ung, acting director of Binh Thanh ward health station.
The priority is to screen and detect cancers and other common diseases early, enabling timely intervention from the initial stages, Ung noted.
