Thu's life and work story featured in the program will bring to the audience an authentic perspective on medical ethics of the acupuncturist.
Late professor Thu is a leading Vietnamese acupuncturist who developed acupuncture into a scientific and academic technique applied locally and around the world. His contributions to Vietnamese acupuncture will never be forgotten and are being passed on by the next generations.
The professor is also renowned as “the doctor of the poor”. Thu spent most of his time studying acupuncture therapies and helping poor people. He mobilised financial resources to offer free treatment for poor children with disabilities or hereditary complications.

Thanks to their great contributions, Vietnam has achieved remarkable results in the fight against Covid-19 pandemic.
