Free bus rides take patients home for Tet
VOV.VN - The National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (NIHBT) has offered free bus rides to nearly 200 patients to help them reunite with their families for the traditional Lunar New Year (Tet).
Almost 100 patients at the NIHBT whose health is fit enough to leave the hospital take free bus rides home for Tet. |
Vi Thi Que from northern Yen Bai province says she is very happy to receive the meaningful gift as it is very difficult to travel home ahead of Tet.
|
This is the third year the hospital has implemented the charity program to send its patients home for Tet. |
Doctors and nurses see the patients off.
|
Three buses took 37 patients to their homes in Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai, Ha Nam and Ninh Binh provinces on February 12 and there will be one more bus for other patients on February 13. |
Dr Bach Quoc Khanh, NIHBT Director, thoughtfully helps patients get on buses. |
Around 200 patients take free bus rides home this year while about 300 others remain at the hospital for further treatment. |
