Hospital leaders said that caring for, treating and providing mental support to patients, particularly children, is identified as one of the hospital’s important tasks. Alongside efforts to improve the quality of medical examination and treatment, the hospital regularly coordinates with organisations and agencies to organise visits, gift presentations and Mid-Autumn Festival activities, helping encourage children and their families during treatment.

According to the hospital, 64 child patients are currently receiving inpatient treatment. This year, the “Mid-Autumn Festival for Children” programme featured a range of activities for the young patients, bringing a joyful atmosphere, gifts and care to the “little warriors” undergoing treatment there. — VNA/VNS
