At the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, where the most severe COVID-19 cases in Hanoi and Northern provinces are treated, each health personnel only has one week of resting between the 3-month shifts.

The pressure here has never cooled down for a moment.

Over the past 2 years, the hospital's Intensive Care Center has never been empty of COVID-19 patients.

The Center's ICU room has become the second home of Dr. Pham Van Phuc and many other medical brothers and sisters.

These days, when the COVID-19 pandemic is heating up with the number of cases increasing rapidly, the pressure on the doctors at the hospital is also increasing. Because the number of health personnel is still the same while the number of patients is increasing.

Besides treatment, the doctors and nurses here are always dedicated to taking care of patients on behalf of their family members./.
