Bui Van Phuong, in Tan Thanh hamlet, Yen Tri commune, Yen Thuy district, has done his best to help sick people.

 

Phuong is a well-known traditional medical practitioner who has treated many patients with fatal diseases like cirrhosis, snakebite, kidney failure, haemorrhoids and diseases relating to the digestive system and bones.

 Over the past 40 years, Phuong has provided free health check-ups and treatment for social policy beneficiaries and poor and disabled people. About 350-400 patients receive free medical check-ups and treatment by him each year, with total cost amounting to more than 150 million VND.

 He has also contributed 100 million VND to the upgrade of the local Thuong communal house, which costs over 1 billion VND and is expected to be completed in March-April 2019.

 Phuong has set a bright example in social movements and activities, especially the new-style rural area building. He contributed about 500 million VND to the building of new-style rural area facilities like the village gate, concrete roads, cultural house and communal house.

 With his prestige, he has joined representatives of agencies and organisations in persuading locals to donate 3,000 sq.m of land to build 4.5km of roads, and participate in movements to protect national security and fight social vice.

 With such contributions, Phuong was among outstanding prestigious people honoured in Hoa Binh in 2018. Earlier, he was presented with certificates of merit of the Prime Minister and the Government’s Committee for Ethnic Affairs in 2017, and of the Oriental Traditional Medicine Association in 2016 and 2017./.
