This is a demonstration of CMC's responsibility to the community and the society, spreading a beautiful image of solidarity and engagement as the whole country is fighting against the pandemic.

Sharing with hospitals strained by the pandemic to overcome difficulties

In July, hospitals in Hanoi had to shoulder both duties of fighting pandemic and sending doctors and nurses to support the medical team in the South. The medical staff is facing many difficulties as well as lacking equipment. Understanding that, on the 17^th and 18^th of August, CMC presented to Hanoi Medical University Hospital and Hanoi Lung Hospital each 3 high flow nasal cannula oxygen systems (HFNC) with worth of 2 billion VND. The systems given by CMC to the hospitals provide 100% of heated and humidified oxygen, which helps to avoid drying of the airway and the inflammatory response caused by the drying of the mucosa, thus helps patients to quickly recover.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Luu - Head of Marketing & Communication Department of CMC Corporation said, CMC selects to support hospitals that face many difficulties and lack equipment to fight the pandemic. For example, Hanoi Lung Hospital had to stop admitting patients from the end of July after a series of positive Covid-19 cases was detected here. During the days of lockout, the hospital had many difficulties and lacked medical equipment and supplies.

As for Hanoi Medical University Hospital, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh - Deputy Director of the hospital said that, without the help of sponsors like CMC, it would be very difficult for the hospital to treat patients with Covid-19 as well as to complete and put the field hospital in Hoang Mai into operation as soon as possible. The doctors and nurses of Hanoi Medical University Hospital are also working hard day and night to send reinforcement to the South and to build a solid fence for the Hanoi branch at the same time.

Talking about charity activities of CMC, Mr. Ho Thanh Tung - Deputy General Director said: "The fight against the pandemic may be even longer and fiercer, and no one can predict it. As one of the businesses who always uphold responsibilities to the community, CMC Corporation is always willing to join hands with the government and people across the country in this fight.  We hope that our small gifts will help reduce the burden on the medical team and soon bring our life back to normal."

In the middle of August 2021, the whole country has had more than 300,000 cases of Covid-19; 2,300 medical workers have been infected while carrying out their duties, and people are faced with both the risk of infection and difficulties due to the unprecedentedly long social distancing period.

In that stressful situation, CMC Corporation has acted quickly to protect its workers. Since the beginning of June, CMC employees have been vaccinated. To date, more than 90% of CMC employees nationwide have received the first dose of vaccine and are about to get the second dose.

At offices, CMC strictly complies with the 5K regulation of Ministry of Health and establishes safe Green Zones. In Hanoi, in addition to preparing masks and hand sanitizers for employees, CMC also quickly implements hygiene recommendations at the office. Many webinars have been held to ensure the staff across the country is constantly updated with the most accurate epidemiological information and local situation according to the development of the pandemic.

Except for essential departments, employees are allowed to work from home as required by local authorities. CMC ensures that all employees are fully equipped to work and receive salary in accordance with the labor law to support their living.

In the coming time, if the pressures from the pandemic drag on, CMC will try its best to contribute to realizing the double goal of pandemic prevention and socio-economic maintenance and development by committing to providing essential technology products and solutions to customers.
