The medical workers and students are from many medical institutions in northern localities such as Ha Noi and Cao Bang, Dien Bien, and Thanh Hoa provinces.

The group flew to HCM City in August and September to support the city’s pandemic fight. They worked at temporary COVID-19 treatment hospitals and helped with the collection of samples for testing and other logistics tasks.

In response to the pandemic, Viet Nam Airlines has to date transported nearly 12,000 medical workers and hundreds of tonnes of medical supplies and equipment and vaccines across localities nationwide.
