(HBO) – Khuoc hamlet in Cao Son commune, Luong Son district, Hoa Binh province, was once isolated from the outside world. There was only a trail leading to the locality.
Thanks to the
upgrading of the local transport system, Khuoc villagers have experienced
changes in their lives.
According to Bui Van Tuong, head of the hamlet, before the
upgrading of the local transport system, more than 50 households there, mainly
belonging to Muong and Dao ethnic groups, only cultivated corn and cassava.
After a concrete road running through the mountain and connecting Khuoc with
other hamlets and low-lying areas was built, the living standards of local
residents have been improved.
Many households have utilised scientific-technological
applications in planting trees of high economic values like orange and pomelo.
The hamlet has also been known as a source of cows, chickens
and goats in Luong Son. Thanks to new mindset and investments in production,
many of the households have escaped from the poverty, even becoming well-off.
Statistics show that in 2022, up to 80% of the households
were recognised as cultural ones. More than 60% of the residents participated
in health insurance. The average income of each resident stood at 35 million
VND.
Tuong said there were only nine poor and near-poor
households in the hamlet, noting that the locality will focus on supporting the
households, with the pioneering role of Party members to be carried forward in
the efforts.
In the afternoon of December 17, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized a summary and awarding ceremony for the Online Competition on preventing and controlling the Family Violence in 2024.
Implementing the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress to reach a health insurance coverage rate of 95% or more of the population, the Women's Union at all provincial levels has deployed the creative models and methods and effectively replicated them. These activities not only contribute to completing the social security goals, but they also spread the spirit of solidarity and sharing in the community.

The projects are funded by the central budget under the Economic and Social Recovery and Development Programme, aiming to improve healthcare services. The goal is to gradually develop a system of modern and quality district-level healthcare facilities.
To improve the cultural and spiritual life of the elderly, the associations for the elderly at various levels in Hoa Binh province have created many interesting and meaningful activities, attracting the participation of a large number of old people. These activities provide opportunities for them to improve both their physical and mental health, enabling them to live happily and healthily.
The pilot programme for sending Vietnamese workers to the Republic of Korea (RoK) for seasonal agricultural jobs continues under a collaboration between localities of the two countries, running for five years from January 1, 2022.
Staff of the Red Cross Society of Hoa Binh province were deeply moved by a meaningful and humanitarian act by Mr Vu Huu Lung, 86, in Hoa Binh city, to donate his corneas, which brought hopes to those yearning for the light. Before passing away, Lung left behind a noble wish to donate all of his organs, including his corneas, to help patients suffering from blindness and those in need of organ transplants to revive their lives.
