"The view that 'doctors should only focus on their expertise' can cause many medical professionals to miss the opportunity to contribute and share knowledge on a large scale. We want to encourage good medical professionals to participate in communication, helping to convey medical information accurately, effectively and closely to the community. Medical communication without the participation of good doctors, experienced nurses, and influencers will hardly be effective...", shared Ms. Do Thi Nam Phuong, Head of the Communication Center, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, a member of the organizing committee of the series of seminars.
