Consulting and free health check-ups for 400 female workers in Ho Chi Minh City

On June 20, the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation (LĐLĐ) coordinated with the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and accompanying units to organize the Health Day program with the theme "Early Care - Protecting the Future" in Vung Tau ward.

The program has the participation of representatives of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation, representatives of units accompanying about 400 union members and female workers in wards and communes in the East of Ho Chi Minh City.

In the program, female union members and workers are informed and consulted on reproductive health; gynecological examinations and especially cervical cancer screening are completely free with a team of highly qualified doctors and medical equipment.

In addition, workers participating in the program also received loving gifts from the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union. The program organizers also presented 20 gifts to female workers in difficult circumstances.

According to the Organizing Committee, the female labor force is one of the important factors in the sustainable development of businesses and the prosperity of society. However, many women do not have the conditions to access preventive medicine services and in-depth screening early due to their work and life being full of worries.

Therefore, taking care of and protecting the health of female workers, along with taking care of the material and spiritual life of workers, is always concerned by the Trade Union organization, considering it a key and consistent task. Through the program, it will contribute to further raising women's awareness of the importance of periodic health check-ups, proactively detecting and preventing occupational diseases and serious diseases. To help women protect themselves, maintain family happiness and effective production labor.
