Heroine – medical doctor Dang Thuy Tram awarded posthumously with the title “Hero of the People’s Armed Forces”

This noble award is not just for MD. Dang Thuy Tram, who heroically sacrificed her life for the national liberation, but also is to pay respect to doctors o­n Vietnam’s Day for Medical Doctors Feb. 27.
