VOV.VN - The Lunar New Year festival, known locally as Tet, is a time for family reunions, but for dialysis patients living in boarding houses near hospitals, it is both a long-awaited moment and a bittersweet one as they must stay close to their life-saving treatments to battle illness day by day.

VOV.VN - Individual philanthropists and organisations have so far contributed nearly VND21 trillion in cash and kind to the national COVID-19 fight, according to the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee.

President Nguyen Xuan Phuc has requested that exemplary models who have made great sacrifice and contributions to the nation’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, including volunteers and philanthropists, be identified and honoured.
