The proposal was made by a group of Vietnamese doctors in the US in an online talk called "Practical experience in treating Covid-19 patients in the US - Establishing a group of remote consulting doctors for F0 in Dong Nai and Tien Giang" was held on August 30, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The event was attended by representatives of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ho Chi Minh City Overseas Vietnamese Committee, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Health of Dong Nai and Tien Giang provinces, with Vietnamese Consul General in San Francisco Nguyen Trac Toan.

The four speakers, who are Vietnamese doctors in the US, shared their experiences in diagnosing, emergency and treating Covid-19 patients in the US, and presented the project of establishing "A group of doctors to support consultations from far for Dong Nai and Tien Giang".

Choosing to focus on supporting Dong Nai and Tien Giang is considered practical, timely and meaningful when the two provinces are in the group of 5 provinces with the highest number of new infections per day in the country. The treatment F0 at home is only applied in Tien Giang, not yet applied in Dong Nai.

The event is part of the series of activities "Overseas nationals join hands with the country to overcome the pandemic", demonstrating the policy of attaching importance to overseas Vietnamese resources and responding to the conclusion No. 12-KL/TW on August 12. 2021 by the Politburo. The conclusion is about the work of overseas Vietnamese in the new situation, contributing to the implementation of diplomatic work during the pandemic.

Nguyen Trac Toan said expatriates in the West Coast of the United States have donated and sent home more than US$300,000, 255 ventilators, breathing aids and many medical equipment and supplies with a value of up to nearly US$one million. People also have many other activities such as writing petitions to ask the US to support vaccines for Vietnam.

He said that this event had practical significance, meeting the expectations of a large number of overseas Vietnamese doctors who wanted to join hands with the people in the country to fight the pandemic.
