President visits war invalids, sick soldiers in Ninh Binh province

During his visit to the Duy Tien War Invalids Nursing Centre in Ninh Binh province on the occasion of the 78th War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27, 1947 2025), President Cuong expressed his deep gratitude to war invalids and people who rendered services to the nation for national liberation and independence and emphasised that generations of Vietnamese people have always remembered and understood the value of today’s peace.

He presented gifts to war invalids and ill soldiers in the centre and wished the wounded and sick soldiers overcome adversities and diseases to lead a happy and healthy life.

Cuong affirmed that implementing policies for those with merit to the nation are a long-term, regular task of the entire political system and the whole society, and that these policies will continue to be improved with the mobilisation of all social resources to ensure better implementation.

He stressed that over the past 78 years, especially during nearly four decades of renewal, the Party and State have issued numerous preferential policies for revolution contributors, and these policies have continually been improved. The gratitude movement has also expanded, helping to better care for national contributors across the country.

President Cuong praised the efforts and achievements of the centre in recent years, recognising it as a warm and caring home where wounded and sick soldiers are cared for both physically and mentally. He also commended Ninh Binh province for their effective and innovative approaches in supporting national contributors and their families.

He urged a comprehensive review of policies for revolution contributors and families of martyrs, with proposals for practical and effective adjustments. He also expressed hope that wounded and sick soldiers will continue to preserve their health, overcome pain and illness, and remain shining examples of bravery and sacrifice for younger generations to follow.

To the staff and caregivers at the centre, President Cuong stressed the importance of compassion, responsibility, and attentive care in their jobs.

Currently, the Duy Tien War Invalids Nursing Centre is caring for, treating, and rehabilitating 52 wounded and sick soldiers and one martyr’s relative from nine provinces and cities across the country. All of the veterans are over 70 years old, with the eldest being 93.
