To help share the difficulties of the people and prevent common diseases, doctors from Military Hospital 268 provided general examinations and screening for common diseases of the elderly for more than 300 people, and at the same time instructed people on how to care for and treat diseases at home.

Doctor Phan Van Tuan, Head of the General Planning Department, Military Hospital 268, said: "Through examination, we found that most of the people here often suffer from high blood pressure, gastritis, osteoarthritis, and respiratory diseases. However, because people do not go to medical facilities for treatment but buy medicine to take themselves, not only do their diseases not improve but they also show signs of getting worse. Therefore, we have also focused on instructing people to recognize common diseases, thereby showing them how to treat and prevent them to help them take care of their health for common diseases."

On this occasion, the Board of Directors of Military Hospital 268 and the People's Committee of Trung Son commune held a signing ceremony to implement the model of officers and soldiers of Military Hospital 268 "Joining hands to take care of the health of ethnic minorities" in order to further promote health care for people in border areas.
