(HBO) – Despite being a disadvantaged mountainous province, Hoa Binh has successfully made use of the unity power to achieve the twin goals of keeping COVID-19 at bay and boosting socio-economic development, in response to the special emulation campaign of the entire country uniting to win over the COVID-19 pandemic launched by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
People in Hoa Binh City deliver relief goods to
the headquarters of the provincial Fatherland Front Committee for delivery to
pandemic-hit Ho Chi Minh City.
Hoa Binh’s people have together responded to the
provincial Fatherland Front Committee’s call for donations to aid the country’s
COVID-19 fight. Many people have made financial donations while other
contributed in the form of services. Local doctors and nurses have volunteered
to work in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai, the two coronavirus hotspots, to
assist their colleagues in the fight against coronavirus, or help with pandemic
prevention work in Hanoi.
Hoa Binh was one of the first localities in the
country delivering over 300 tonnes of goods supplies to HCM City, which has
been hit the hardest by the pandemic.
With its unity, the high commitment of the
provincial political system, and the effective role of each commune and
residents in the battle against the virus, the province has been able to
fulfill the twin goals and protect its "green” areas.
However, the COVID-19 situation in the country
remains complex with infections likely to rise again due to a large number of
people returning from pandemic-hit areas and many lowering their guards against
the virus. Some even spread fake and distorted information on social networks,
causing bad effects on the pandemic fight.
Hoa Binh has determined that all its officials
and residents must stay on high alert and work together in the COVID-19 fight.
The province has urged its people to follow the "5K” principles, get COVID-19
vaccine, and heighten their sense of responsibility when using social networks.
It has also called on local residents to
contribute ideas on measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and accelerate
production to respond to the province’s movement campaigning people to stay
united and join hands with the country to defeat the pandemic.
The National Science and Engineering Fair for secondary and high school students was held at Ton Duc Thang University in Ho Chi Minh City from March 19-21 by the Ministry of Education and Training.
As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.
With over 70% of their workers being women, trade unions across industrial parks (IPs) in Hoa Binh have been actively safeguarding their legal rights and interests while implementing initiatives to improve their income and well-being.
In recent years, the Hoa Binh provincial General Hospital has continuously innovated itself and improved the quality of medical services to meet the increasing needs of local people. With substantial investments in infrastructure and modern equipment, along with a team of highly qualified doctors and nurses, the hospital has gradually established itself as one of the leading medical units in the Northwestern region and a trusted destination for healthcare for people inside and outside the province.
From mastering the fundamentals of programming to achieving national recognition, the Programming Club of the Le Van Tam Primary School (STAR LVT28) in Hoa Binh city has made remarkable strides in the field of robotics.
