Dinh Nam said: “After five years of active social work in a university environment, it is a great honor for my efforts to be recognized by the Danang City Union, the Danang Red Cross and the DTU Union. In a medical practice, social work is not voluntary but a duty performed to protect the health and the lives of the community. As Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine Union Branch and member of the DTU University Union Standing Committee, I will always do my best to study to fulfill my responsibilities, create an environment for Union members and students to work closely together and build a foundation to enable the Union to grow ever stronger.”
As well as Dinh Nam, there are many other outstanding DTU students who have ignited their colleagues with their special enthusiasm, daring, youthful strength and radical spirit, ultimately greatly benefitting their local communities and hometowns.
