Can you briefly introduce yourself and your family?
I was born on July 24, 1983 in Hue in a large family, my younger sisters are pharmacists and have a master’s degree in speech therapy. My father-in-law is an excellent physician and my husband is an internal medicine doctor.
It is known that your company is currently investing in several health care products? What are the advantages of these products?
Since the beginning of January 2024, my company has launched the following health care product lines: Dr.Family Herbal Foot Soak, Dr.Family Joint and Bone Spray, Dr.Family Calci Mk7, Dr.Family Enzyme Water and is in the process of launching more products Drfamily Joint Nourishing Pills, Dr.Famly Neuro Nerve Supplement. With the goal of all products operating in a comprehensive Musculoskeletal and Joint Health Care Combo. Huong has more than 20 years of experience in this field.
What inspired you to pursue a career in public health care?
After a long time working in the medical field, through examining and treating thousands of patients, plus the desire to bring more value to public health as well as the conscience of a physician, I learned, researched, and consulted with teachers, experts in the field of health care. From that, the Dr.Family brand was born and went hand in hand with comprehensive health care products. Dr. Family brings doctors to your family.
Throughout your career, what have been the biggest challenges you have encountered when working in the field of public health care?
The concept of public health care needs to be implemented accurately and methodically. I myself have to coordinate with many doctors, experts, and agencies to bring about products with the desired health value. However, with the rapid change in weather factors, living environment, and the increase in new diseases. The most important thing is the comprehensive cooperation from patients and customers throughout the process to hopefully bring the best results.
Can you share some of the most memorable stories about the health care projects that the doctor has participated in?
That is the Nursing Home project. Indeed, this is a project with great future and significance. This model has been developing very strongly in other countries. However, in Vietnam, there are still many inconsistent opinions.
According to Dr. Huong, what is the most important thing to improve the current public health care system?
In terms of health, community education is the most important. People may have a clear understanding of the factors and causes of diseases and their effects on health. But for many different reasons, this concept is not given much attention, leading to treatment only when the disease is formed. And the harm is the impact on both economy – time – health.
Have you ever felt tired or wanted to give up your job? If so, what helped you continue?
When I entered the Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, I swore the Hippocratic oath before starting my practice. And from then until now, even if there is a little bit of the idea of giving up, it is not a big factor that affects the path that any doctor has chosen. The medical profession is a sacrifice, so if you are still in the ranks, it means you still have to sacrifice for the common health benefit of the patient.
Do you have any advice for the young generation of doctors who want to contribute to public health?
Those working in the medical profession as well as any medical school all aim for the common benefit of public health. Therefore, continuous learning and caution are always the top factors to bring good values. Contributing to public health is first of all your own health, that is the most practical experience. Through that, you can use your knowledge and experience to give back to the community effectively.
What do you think about the role of technology in improving public health care?
That is an inevitable issue in current and future health care. Technology helps bring fast, accurate results, significantly saves costs, meets needs, thereby bringing many health and cost benefits to the community.
Thank you, Dr. Huong, for the conversation. Wishing you good health, joy and happiness.
