When care is provided closer to homeA story on Ly Son Island, Vietnam

On Ly Son Island, Vietnam, home to 22,000 residents and known for its challenging geography, healthcare access has long been a struggle. Until recently, residents faced significant obstacles, including the high cost and risk of traveling to the mainland for medical care, often delayed by severe weather.

Now, with the installation of CT and mobile X-ray technology at the Military-Civilian Medical Center, healthcare on Ly Son has transformed. These advancements enable screening and early detection of diseases like lung tumors, pleural effusion, and appendicitis.

Doctors can now provide timely diagnostic imaging, reducing the need for costly mainland referrals and offering essential care locally.
