Behind the firefighter’s uniform:

Hùng’s story of health and survival

As a firefighter with more than 15 years in the profession, Hùng was all too used to putting other people’s safety ahead of his own health. Long shifts, smoke and dust, stress and pressure at work meant he often ignored his body’s warning signs.

“We can rush into a fire at any moment, but when it comes to my own health, I usually put it last,” Hùng shared.

A colleague once advised him to get a full-body check-up at GC&Phenikaa. At first he hesitated, thinking he was still healthy. But after a major fire that left him unusually short of breath, Hùng decided to take the time to truly listen to his body.

The results of a comprehensive examination at GC&Phenikaa detected a small abnormal mass in his lung at an early stage – something Hùng had had no idea about. Fortunately, it was found at a very early stage and could be treated in time before it became dangerous.

“I always thought health was something that could wait. GC&Phenikaa completely changed that way of thinking. Early detection gave me the chance to keep living a healthy life with my family and my teammates.”

Now, Hùng sees regular health check-ups as a part of life that is no less important – just like fire drills. He hopes his story can remind those who are always busy caring for others that: Your own health deserves to be a priority too.
