He has been actively involved in studying, conducting scientific research, and applying and deploying new and advanced techniques in the cancer treatment.

Born into a family with a tradition of studiousness, Doan Quoc Bao is always aware that he must strive to live well and to be useful to his family and society.

Witnessing many poor children in rural areas suffering from terrible cancers, he determined to study medicine and dreamed of becoming a doctor to take care of them. So, after graduating as a resident doctor from the Hue University Of Medicine and Pharmacy, he returned to work at the Da Nang Oncology Hospital.

During the medical examination and treatment process, Dr. Bao is always considerate and welcoming to patients and their families with a dedicated, thoughtful service attitude.

As for young patients whose psychology is often unstable, he is always gentle and patient during the treatment process.

Mr. Bao confided that cancer patients seem to be the ones suffering the most and the heaviest pain among the patients. Along with good expertise, the physician must also be like a gentle mother to provide spiritual support for patients and their family members, helping patients feel close and secure so they can share the pain of their illness. This helps him find a better treatment path. Accordingly, Dr. Bao always searches for the best treatment methods, and carries out consultations and diagnoses with the highest sense of responsibility.

He always cares for and promptly helps children in difficult circumstances both physically and mentally, hoping them to soon overcome the pain of illness.

He has been implementing the project called "A picture of hope". Under the project, he and other volunteers have painted vivid and beautiful murals on walls of hospital rooms, creating an airy and joyful space like the amusement park in a bid to help children get rid of nostalgia for schools and classmates.

With the spirit of inspiring patients, especially pediatric patients, Dr. Bao has appealed for benefactors and sponsors to organise cultural exchange activities to bring them joy and improve their spiritual life.

Together with his colleagues, in 2023, the Department of Internal Medicine 3 successfully conducted autologous stem cell transplants for 2 cases, including the first case of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the hospital.

As a Deputy Head of the Department, Dr. Bao has constantly studied, and dared to think and dared to do in order to to bring practical benefits to patients, especially pediatric ones.

As Secretary of the Youth Union organisation of the hospital, Mr. Bao has always been at the forefront of volunteer movements.

Every year, he coordinates with volunteer organisations and called on sponsors and benefactors to provide financial support to organise free medical checkups and screen some cancer diseases for social policy beneficiaries, people with revolutionary merit, people in difficult circumstances in localities inside and outside the city with a total budget of more than VND300 million.

He calls on agencies, organisations, benefactors, and sponsors to give free meals worth hundreds of millions of dong to needy patients, as well as donate televisions, computers, organs, toys, books, and bookshelves for children's rooms.

And most recently, to help female patients ease the pain of illness and reduce homesickness, Dr. Bao and youth union members organised the Ao Dai Festival right at the hospital campus.
