Hanoi elderly’s enthusiasm warms the heart of Traphaco’s health consultants

Hanoi in particular and the north in general is struggling to overcome the scorching cold days. The temperature has fallen to the record low level – 5-6 degrees Celsius. We – Traphaco’s health consultants – were very worried for our upcoming meeting with the elderly of Duc Thang ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi on January 25 as it was forecasted that the monsoon would hit Hanoi from the night of January 21.

This meeting was jointly held by the Red Cross of Duc Thang Ward and Traphaco JSC to give members of the Duc Thang Ward Red Cross’ members useful knowledge on healthcare for the elderly.

That day, the temperature fell to 6.7 degrees Celsius. We went to the office very early in the morning to prepare equipment and gifts for the meeting.

On the way to the meeting hall, we wondered whether Duc Thang Ward’s elderly people could go to the meeting or not because the weather was so harsh. But when we entered the meeting hall, we saw most of the seats were occupied.

The counseling session began with a short video clip about Traphaco JSC. Through the 8-minute clip, attendants could understand the core values, which helps build Traphaco today.  The audience was amazed by vast medical plant fields of Traphaco as well as the modern laboratory and medical production lines at Traphaco plants.

Within one hour, we tried to select the most basic and important information related to the two topics - the measures to protect the liver and the way to use medicine safely and effectively - to share to the elderly of Duc Thang Ward.

We also asked them how they used medicines at home and answered all of their questions about the two topics.

We instructed them to practice some small exercises which helped them feel relax so they could better absorb the information we gave.

After the end of the meeting, many people still stayed in the meeting hall to ask us many more questions about their diseases or more information about the medicine that we gave them as the gift from Traphaco.

They said they had been using Traphaco products for years and they were glad to be presented with the new products. They said they would continue using Traphaco drugs in the future.

Seeing their enthusiasm and feeling their sentiment for us, our hearts and passion were warmed up. We no longer felt the cold anymore and we were so proud to be Traphaco’s health consultants.
