Nguyen Thi Hai Van

I am a professional who is passionate about medicine and healthcare services. Having found my calling to serve the community, I have worked hard to attain professional qualifications to practise as a pharmacist. I take pride in the work that I do and have always sought to practise my skills, develop my competencies, and continue my education in order to practise medicine at an advance level. Through my current and past endeavours, I am grateful to see my work enact positive changes to the health and lives of others. As a person who sees the value in building healthcare partnership with members and leaders of various communities, I aspire to be a leader in this field, and I am committed to the work required to achieve this goal.
