Vice State President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh visited and presented gifts to disadvantaged children at the Da Nang Maternity and Paediatrics Hospital on June 29.

At the hospital, Vice State President Thinh praised the hospital’s staff for their innovative work with patients, and for their great efforts in improving the care given to them, despite working under overload conditions.  She also added that she was delighted that the hospital service has been rated as 'good' by its patients from the city and elsewhere in central region.

She took the opportunity to ask the hospital to join efforts with the Party, State and social organisations to make greater efforts to help child patients, especially those with difficult circumstances.

On the occasion, the AIA Insurance Group donated 100 million VND (4,500 USD) to the city's Centre for Children Protection.

Da Nang is home to over 2,700 disadvantaged children and over 23,000 others at risk of joining this vulnerable group.
