On the day of takeover (April 30, 1975), the health sector in the Southwest region had 15 affiliated units and 436 medical staff with all qualifications. Only so many people have to support the provinces, but most of the human resources are kept for Can Tho to start a new fight: That is, the fight against poverty, disease and healing the wounds of war. Before the liberation day, the puppet government's medical services were concentrated in urban areas, while in the countryside, there were only a few nursing homes in charge of village midwives. At that time, the rate of people suffering from social diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, venereal disease, etc. was very high. Most of the drugs used in the treatment are imported drugs. Because our medical staff is too thin, the professional qualifications that were urgently trained in the resistance war have not met the actual requirements; Medical equipment is old and outdated, medicine is seriously lacking due to the enemy's siege and embargo, and there is almost no sanitary network for epidemic prevention.
