Ho Chi Minh City will pay more attention to investing and creating more favorable conditions for the center to perform its functions and tasks well, and provide more complete care so that war invalids, sick soldiers, and meritorious people can have a better and more comfortable living environment and space.

Dr. Tong Duc Binh, Director of the Long Dat Nursing Center for War Invalids and People with Meritorious Services, said that the center is nurturing and providing rehabilitation treatment for 31 war invalids from 12 provinces and cities across the country and managing the health and providing initial medical examination and treatment for 14 war invalids from Ho Chi Minh City.

The typical injuries of the wounded soldiers at the center are mostly spinal injuries that cause complete paralysis of both legs, forcing them to sit in wheelchairs, causing diseases such as sphincter disorders, body ulcers, urinary tract infections, and some wounded soldiers have chest injuries, abdominal injuries, amputations, and gunshot wounds that completely damage both eyes.

“When the weather changes, old wounds recur, and the wounded soldiers have to endure the pain again. However, with all the resilience of a soldier, with the qualities of “Uncle Ho’s soldiers”, the wounded soldiers of the center always try to overcome themselves to overcome their injuries and illnesses, always being an example for their children to follow, true to Uncle Ho’s saying: Wounded soldiers are disabled but not useless”, shared Dr. Tong Duc Binh.
