Vinmec International General Hospital Times City actively promotes its health education and free screening programs, increasing both the scope and frequency of these initiatives.
The medical knowledge education programs organized by the hospital have attracted many people to participate, contributing to increasing the number of people with first aid skills, not only having the ability to save themselves but also helping many people around. Furthermore, these regularly conducted free screenings have yielded positive outcomes, allowing thousands of individuals to receive early disease detection and timely treatment each year. This has directly contributed to improved success rates in treating conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
Vinmec Times City offers programs to disseminate knowledge and provide home first-aid training
Vinmec Times City hosted workshops on "Stroke Prevention, Myocardial Infarction, and Home First Aid" at Vinhomes residential communities to disseminate knowledge and equip residents with essential first aid skills for home emergencies. The program was designed to be comprehensive, informative, and effective. While bridging the gap between theory and practice remains a challenge, the dedicated efforts of medical personnel have led to the continuous expansion of these knowledge-sharing and first-aid training programs within residential areas, resulting in an increase in the number of individuals capable of providing emergency assistance. Participants received expert guidance from medical staff on recognizing critical signs and symptoms of common emergencies, such as respiratory distress, acute circulatory failure, nerve damage, and shock, prioritized as follows:
- Emergency A: Airway and Cervical Spine
- Emergency B: Breathing
- Emergency C: Circulation
- Emergency D: Disability/Neurological Assessment
- Emergency E: Exposure/Environment
In addition, attendees will also learn about procedures and how to respond to common emergencies such as drowning, electric shock, burns, and snake bites. Gaining this medical knowledge is crucial, as it not only equips people with essential first-aid skills for everyday situations but also empowers them to protect themselves and their families. Impressively, over 90% of those who participated in the workshop demonstrated a clear understanding of how to prevent strokes and heart attacks, as well as how to administer first aid to someone experiencing a stroke. This marks a significant first step in improving community awareness and minimizing stroke complications resulting from delayed or absent first aid.
Vinmec Times City's Breast and Thyroid Screening Activities
The series of activities "Community Health Education - Breast Disease Screening" and "Thyroid Screening" for women held by Vinmec International General Hospital has received a lot of attention. These community programs organized by Vinmec are completely free of charge with the goal of helping people raise awareness about breast and thyroid diseases, proactively have regular check-ups, as well as have the opportunity to detect diseases early.
Early detection and screening for breast and thyroid malignancies are of paramount importance in optimizing treatment outcomes. This approach improves the probability of successful remission, reduces the economic burden of treatment, and preserves organ function. Regular thyroid check-ups and breast screenings are essential for identifying diseases early, even when they are still latent or just beginning to develop. Based on the screening results, doctors will provide diagnoses, offer guidance, and create personalized treatment plans.
At each event, Vinmec Hospital's doctors and medical staff will provide consultations and answer questions related to thyroid and breast diseases. During the ultrasound and screening process, doctors will further explain the lesions, as well as benign and minimally invasive treatment methods. In addition, the medical team will guide participants on how to prevent these diseases through proper nutrition and exercise tailored to each individual's health condition.
Recognizing its social responsibility to the community and fulfilling its mission of providing healthcare for all, Vinmec frequently conducts health education programs across various areas, reaching diverse age groups at risk of developing thyroid and breast conditions. These initiatives have played a vital role in enhancing the overall health of the community.
