Nearly 400 employees at Vietnam Waste Solutions received routine health checks at Ho Chi Minh City's Da Phuoc Waste Treatment Complex, including consultations on occupational illnesses.

Doctors from the Hospital for Rehabilitation and Occupational Disease Treatment examined company officials, specialists and workers on Sept. 5. The examinations included blood tests, blood-pressure checks, dental, ear, nose and throat, eye examinations and X-rays. Employees with abnormal results would receive specialist consultations, while the company would cover treatment costs for workers found to need medical care.

The company's arrangement for annual health checkups makes us feel reassured and confident about staying with the business for the long term.

For older workers, the checkup offered an opportunity to monitor common problems such as high blood pressure and bone and joint conditions. Workers directly assigned to the landfill underwent additional tests related to their duties, including respiratory and vision assessments.

Workers also have their respiratory function, eyesight and other issues related to work at the landfill checked.

Tรด Hoร ng ฤแปฉc, a VWS employee, said he normally had little time for medical checkups because of his workload. He said annual examinations arranged during working hours helped him monitor his health and detect problems early. Lรช Thร nh Tรขm, who has worked at VWS for 18 years and supervises landfill operations, said the program helped workers identify issues and seek further treatment.

VWS Deputy General Director Huแปณnh Lan Phฦฐฦกng said the company had prioritized employee welfare since its establishment. In addition to statutory social and health insurance, VWS organizes activities for workers during holidays and throughout the year. Employees can bring their spouses and children on company summer trips, and the company gives gifts during the Lunar New Year, including motorbikes, computers and phones. It also allocates funds for charitable and social welfare activities.

We want these policies not only to support employees themselves but also to care for their families.
