Pediatrics Department, one of those specialties with great performance of City International Hospital is always crowded with patients, even on new-year days. According to doctors in this specialty, weather changes, specifically low temperature in the early morning and night can cause children sickness with symptoms such as coughing, runny nose… Therefore, parents should keep their children warm and have a healthy diet for them, which contains sufficient nutrition to increase their immune system, avoid seasonal diseases like respiratory illness, flu…

Tuc mach’s mother shared: “Tuc Mach has a flesh pimple on his foot. We could not have it cut off because Tuc Mach at that time was still little a baby. But now he is over 9-month old, so us two and my husband came to City International Hospital today to have the operation done.”

Tuc Mach, as well as other children, is very interested in being at City International Hospital because there is a mini playground for them inside the pediatric department. Children here are carefully looked after by nurses of CIH. Thus, parents are happy to take their children to City International Hospital for treatment. Spring air has spread throughout the specialty, children's laughter and spring melodies have brought a sense of peace, happiness for both patients and their relatives.

On the way to visit other specialties, we accidentally caught an elderly patient sitting alone on the saloon for customers. Through a couple minutes of chatting, we found out that that lady is called Dang Thi Ngan (born in 1945), hospitalized with a pain in the shoulder joint. Ms Ngan said: “I live very nearby, on Tinh Lo 10 Streat, Binh Tan district. My whole family has been using medical services of City International Hospital for a long time. A few days ago, my shoulder suddenly aches, that’s why we came here today”.

Witnessing the elders get sick on new-year days is making everyone anxious. However, Ms. Ngan was so optimist: “Luckily the hospital is not far away from my house, the doctors and nurses here are very nice and dedicated. I come to CIH for medical services whenever I have a health issue, it only takes about 10 minutes to get here”.

Another special case is that of Ms. Pham Thanh Thu (28 years old), living in HCM city, has just given birth to her baby boy at City International Hospital on the new-year day. She emotionally shared: “I was so happy to hold my son for the first time. Every mother has different feelings for the first time they see their baby, but I’m sure happiness is definitely inevitable, especially after painful hours struggling with the beginning of labor. There is only 1 day left before it turns 2018, imagine how joyful and happy we would be when we have just got this little angel joining the family.”
