The Vietnam Young Physicians Association is a voluntary social-professional organisation of young Vietnamese physicians striving for the development of young physicians and the cause of protecting, caring for and improving people's health. It aims to unite and gather young Vietnamese physicians at home and abroad, contributing to fostering and promoting the potential, knowledge and efforts of young physicians striving for the cause of protecting, caring for and improving people's health.
With more than 90,000 members across the country, the Vietnam Young Physicians Association has made many contributions in caring for and improving people's health. In recent years, the Vietnam Young Physicians Association at all levels has carried various programmes and volunteer activities for the health of the entire population, promoting the strength of young doctors in the community as well as its role as the "companion in the community" of young physicians nationwide.
In this year's campaign, the association has been promoting the application of science and technology in early diagnosis and disease screening, especially the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in screening and early detection of lung disease, including lung cancer. The association’s work has created pervasive values in the community, contributing to improving public health in Vietnam./.
