The Program marked the 25th anniversary of dispatching the first Military Medical Team of Military Hospital No. 175 and other forces of Vietnam Military Medical Corps to the Island to carry out military medical tasks for Truong Sa Island. Over nearly a quarter of century, the mission of protecting health for soldiers and people on Truong Sa Island has been taken care with utmost devotion by generations of physicians and doctors of Military Hospital No. 175 as well as other Army hospitals. The presence of “doctors in military uniforms” at the frontline of the Country has reassured the confidence of officers, soldiers and fishermen here. 

At the live-broadcast TV bridge, an urgent medical consultation was held between Military Hospital No. 175 and Medical Center of Truong Sa Town via Telemedicine system. That actual image helped audience better understand the hard-fought tasks of military physicians in saving life, struggling to win back life from death for officers, soldiers and fishermen on Truong Sa Islands over the last 25 years. All contributed to an emotional insight about military medical personnel usually dubbed “Doctors in Military Uniform” day and night joining soldiers and people to safeguard the sea and the sky of our Fatherland…

Especially, the presence of the first two citizens born at Truong Sa Medical Station with the help of doctors of Military Hospital No. 175, namely Nguyen Ngoc Truong Xuan and Thai Binh Hai Thuy, has become the liveliest symbol of the tradition continuity, demonstrating that life keeps going on at the sacred islands of our country.
