(HBO) – Despite being a disadvantaged mountainous province, Hoa Binh has successfully made use of the unity power to achieve the twin goals of keeping COVID-19 at bay and boosting socio-economic development, in response to the special emulation campaign of the entire country uniting to win over the COVID-19 pandemic launched by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
People in Hoa Binh City deliver relief goods to
the headquarters of the provincial Fatherland Front Committee for delivery to
pandemic-hit Ho Chi Minh City.
Hoa Binh’s people have together responded to the
provincial Fatherland Front Committee’s call for donations to aid the country’s
COVID-19 fight. Many people have made financial donations while other
contributed in the form of services. Local doctors and nurses have volunteered
to work in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai, the two coronavirus hotspots, to
assist their colleagues in the fight against coronavirus, or help with pandemic
prevention work in Hanoi.
Hoa Binh was one of the first localities in the
country delivering over 300 tonnes of goods supplies to HCM City, which has
been hit the hardest by the pandemic.
With its unity, the high commitment of the
provincial political system, and the effective role of each commune and
residents in the battle against the virus, the province has been able to
fulfill the twin goals and protect its "green” areas.
However, the COVID-19 situation in the country
remains complex with infections likely to rise again due to a large number of
people returning from pandemic-hit areas and many lowering their guards against
the virus. Some even spread fake and distorted information on social networks,
causing bad effects on the pandemic fight.
Hoa Binh has determined that all its officials
and residents must stay on high alert and work together in the COVID-19 fight.
The province has urged its people to follow the "5K” principles, get COVID-19
vaccine, and heighten their sense of responsibility when using social networks.
It has also called on local residents to
contribute ideas on measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and accelerate
production to respond to the province’s movement campaigning people to stay
united and join hands with the country to defeat the pandemic.
Creating jobs for labourers in general and young people in particular is currently a focus of the province, with vocational training linked to job creation considered one of the strategic breakthrough solutions.
A total of 30 intergenerational self-help clubs (ISHC) have been established in Hoa Binh province under the project "Reducing Income- and Health-Related Vulnerability of Older Persons in Vietnam" (VIE071) since 2021.
Nguyen Thi Nu, a resident of Thach Ly sub-area in Da Bac township of Da Bac district, has been popular in the area as a simple woman that is rich in compassion. For nearly 10 years, she has spread her kindness through many charity activities to ease difficulties for the needy.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
Yen Thuy is aiming to become a new-style rural district by 2025. To achieve this goal, the district has been mobilising the entire political system and local people to early fulfil required criteria.
From a normal bamboo tree, Nguyen Van Nam in Yen Tri commune, Yen Thuy district has transformed it into a "bamboo dragon". His works have been present in many countries.
