Each person has carried out different tasks but they have generally tried to overcome their difficulties to contribute to the city’s success in the battle against Covid-19.
The city authorities and the Ministry of Health always stand by Can Gio district in the fight against Covid-19. Leaders of Ho Chi Minh City have made great efforts to take care of the medical staff over the past time; however, they have sometimes been missing frontline medical forces in some localities; therefore, he expected sympathy of health care workers in hospitals.
The HCMC Party Chief revealed the city’s scenarios for the new normal life with a focus on the upgrade of small and relatively simple medical clinics. Accordingly, Can Gio District Medicine Center was proposed to take heed of small medical facility re-building.
