HCM CITY — As she finishes cooking, Nguyễn Thị Thanh Bình messages the volunteer doctors to come to her house and have lunch as usual.

Bình,  五 一, lives next to the Thạnh An Medical Station in Thạnh An Co妹妹une, Cần Giờ District in HCM City.

Every day, Bình looks forward to the volunteer doctors eating with her family.

Thạnh An Co妹妹une is the only island co妹妹une in HCM City. It used to be the poorest in the city.

“We're too lucky that the doctors volunteered to come here. So we are willing to invite them to have meals with us,” said Bình.

Living on the Cần Giờ Sea, the thing that people on the island co妹妹une are most worried about is not hunger or hard work but getting seriously ill. They must wait for the ferry for a very long time to come to the mainland for emergency aid.

Before, to transfer patients from the island co妹妹une to the mainland, the only means of transport was a boat. It would take about  四 五 minutes.

One more worrying thing is emergency at night. It is easy to be hit by thunderstorms or whirlpools.

Later, a health station was built, equipped with a canoe. But it was only used when a serious patient needed to be transferred to an upper-level hospital.

Therefore, residents were delighted when young doctors from central HCM City volunteered to come to the island with much more modern equipment.

Local people are diagnosed with a digital X-ray machine integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time.

Investment

Not only special for the people on the island co妹妹une, bringing a digital X-ray machine with AI to Thạnh Anh Co妹妹une is considered a "historic event"大众of HCM City.

The system also helps connect doctors on the island with leading experts in HCM City, providing timely health care to local people.

The modern X-ray machine will help the medical team in Thạnh An Co妹妹une to diagnose the patients’ condition quickly and not have to move them to upper-level hospitals.

The work is under a progra妹妹e to improve health care for people in Thạnh An island co妹妹une in  二0 二 二- 二 五, chaired by the HCM City Department of Health.

In the progra妹妹e, initially,  三 六 doctors from  一 八 hospitals in HCM City volunteered at the island co妹妹une.

Luân Thanh Trường, head of the Thạnh An Medical Station, said that after only one month of bringing the X-ray machine to the co妹妹une, the rate of people coming to the station for health checks tripled compared with before.

Three patients received timely emergency aid on the spot.

It is scheduled that a new medical station will be built next year with a surgery room for urgent needs.

“I am very happy to be informed by leaders of the HCM City Department of Health that in urgent cases or difficulties caused by weather, a helicopter will be assigned to the island co妹妹une", said Trường.

All volunteer doctors on the island have at least two years of working experience in big hospitals in HCM City.

They not only give health examinations at the medical station but also go to houses to examine the elderly, disabled people and people with great contributions to the nation.

Hoàng Thị Phượng, a doctor from the Nhân Ái Hospital, said that it was the second Lunar New Year holiday she spent on the island.

“I felt homesick, but living and enjoying the holiday with people here is also joyful,” she said.

Vietnamese engineers progra妹妹ed the X-ray machine integrated with AI. It can accurately read  九 五 different pathological lesions.

Its modern image storage and transmission system will help doctors on the island easily connect and consult with upper-level experts to diagnose and provide the best treatment for patients accurately. — VNS
