According to Dr. Hoang Nhat Quang Thai, from Thua Thien Hue Provincial Rehabilitation Hospital, at the course, students were taught a lot of new knowledge about rehabilitation by teachers, exposed to many treatment methods, care methods, and patient management methods... That is the foundation to support doctors in their work, helping patients and creating a foundation for further in-depth study later.

This is the second time MCNV has coordinated with Bach Mai Hospital to organize a 6-month training course on basic rehabilitation for doctors. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Van Giap, Deputy Director of Bach Mai Hospital, the cooperation between MCNV and Bach Mai Hospital has brought many practical effects to the work of training, support, and transfer of professional techniques, contributing to creating conditions for patients and people with disabilities in remote areas to access quality medical services right in their localities, reducing costs and travel time.
