The Central Geriatric Hospital, in collaboration with the Kim Lien District in Hanoi, has initiated a special healthcare program aimed at preventive medicine. This initiative provided free medical examinations for approximately 100 seniors eligible for social assistance, coinciding with the Memorial Day for War Invalids and Martyrs.

A Comprehensive Range of Medical Services

The health screenings conducted included a wide spectrum of medical diagnostics. The services offered to seniors encompassed general clinical assessments, specialized lab tests, and imaging procedures. Reports indicated that electrocardiograms (EKG) and ultrasound examinations were among the tests performed. Participants were also able to consult various specialists to evaluate their individual health status.

Focus on Early Detection of Chronic Diseases

A key aim of these organized screenings was to identify prevalent chronic illnesses among the elderly early on. The medical staff concentrated particularly on diagnosing hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure. Additionally, the early detection of degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis and cognitive impairments, especially dementia, was a focal point of these preventive measures.

To recognize chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes at an early stage, a clear understanding of one’s examination results is essential.

Prof. Dr. Tran Viet Luc, Deputy Director of the Central Geriatric Hospital, emphasized the importance of regular medical monitoring. Consistent preventive care is critical to positively influence the disease progression among seniors and maintain quality of life over the long term.

Support for War Veterans and Those in Need

Among the participants were several individuals with significant backgrounds. For instance, 78-year-old Vu Hien, a war veteran classified as a category 4/4 disabled veteran and a victim of the herbicide Agent Orange, took advantage of the medical examination offered.

Such programs are part of a broader strategy in Vietnam to provide more accessible and quality medical care for vulnerable populations, including former military personnel. The collaboration between specialized clinics like the Central Geriatric Hospital and local district administrations aims to close gaps in geriatric care.
