In celebration of the Southern Liberation and National Reunification Day (April 30) and International Workers’ Day (May 1), the Center for Support and Continuing Education (under the Vietnam Medical Association) sends its warmest greetings to all colleagues, doctors, healthcare professionals, learners, and partners nationwide. This is a significant occasion to reflect on our nation’s heroic history and honor the noble values of labor, particularly within the medical and healthcare sectors.

Historical Significance and the Dedication of the Healthcare Sector

April 30 holds profound historical significance, marking the reunification of the country and ushering in an era of peace and sustainable development. Concurrently, International Workers’ Day on May 1 is an opportunity for society to express gratitude for the tireless contributions of the global workforce. In the healthcare sector, this spirit of labor is vividly demonstrated through the silent sacrifices, dedication, and resilience of doctors and medical staff in protecting and caring for public health. The relentless efforts in hospitals, medical facilities, and disease prevention frontlines are the clearest testaments to medical ethics and responsibility.

Health Recommendations During the Holiday

Amidst the joyful atmosphere of the extended holiday, ensuring safety and maintaining public health remains a top priority. Based on medical principles and disease prevention protocols, we would like to highlight several health considerations during this period: Maintain a balanced lifestyle and scientific nutrition, paying special attention to food hygiene and safety; Adhere to preventive measures against common infectious diseases during the seasonal transition; Ensure traffic safety; strictly avoid the consumption of alcohol and stimulants before driving to minimize the risk of unnecessary medical traumas.

Continuing the Mission of Medical Support and Continuing Education

The advancement of medicine requires every healthcare professional to continuously learn and improve their skills. In the coming months, the Center for Support and Continuing Education is committed to further accelerating the implementation of high-quality medical training programs. We will continue to update the latest diagnostic and treatment guidelines from the Ministry of Health, providing accurate and scientific knowledge platforms to maximally support the clinical practice of medical professionals.

Once again, we wish all doctors, healthcare professionals, and your families a joyous, happy, peaceful, and healthy April 30 and May 1 holiday.
