Prague (VNA) - The network of Vietnamese intellectuals and experts, the Vietnamese youths and students association, and the group of Vietnamese doctors and physicians in the Czech Republic have coordinated to offer free health check-ups and consultancy to the Vietnamese community in the country.
During the September 7 event, 25 doctors working at hospitals in Prague and surrounding areas, along with Vietnamese medical students in the Czech Republic, assisted over 200 Vietnamese individuals seeking healthcare advice. Clinicians provided services in a variety of health areas, including ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat), cardiology, dentistry, nutrition, psychology, and obstetrics. For those with more complicated needs, the doctors also provided guidance on continuing their care at specialised clinics or hospitals in the country.
In addition, to enhance community knowledge on self-care, the organisers also hosted a specialised workshop on oral hygiene, mental health care, cancer screening, obesity prevention in children, spine relaxation, and neck and shoulder care.
Dr. Pham Thu Thao, who actively participated in the event, said that Vietnamese people in the Czech Republic often spend more time on work and do not pay enough attention to health issues.
She expressed her hope that this programme will not only address specific concerns but also help the community improve their understanding, encouraging them to pay more attention to their own and their families' health./.
