Having served in the military, Mr. Viet was trained in first aid and emergency care skills. He also accumulated a lot of medical knowledge because his grandparents, parents and younger brother are all doctors and was sent by the company to attend a first aid training course organized by Survival Skills Vietnam (SSVN).
With the knowledge he gained, in September 2019, Mr. Viet established a free First Aid – Rescue team of 5 members. To date, the team has dozens of members and volunteers. In 2023 alone, the team supported and provided first aid to nearly 3,000 victims, opened a rescue station providing vehicle repair and accident rescue services…
In 2022, Mr. Viet was awarded the B Community Initiative Prize. In early December 2023, he received the 2023 National Volunteer Award from the Central Youth Union. The volunteer team leader wants to build a professional rescue team, expand the network to many provinces and cities, help victims, and reduce casualties.
