From March 12 to March 14, Deo Ca Group, in collaboration with Phuc Hung Private General Hospital, organized health checkups for workers at Tunnel No. 3, under package XL3 of the Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon project. This group of workers undergoes routine health examinations every six months.

The health checkups were conducted directly at the project site’s management offices for workers' convenience. During this session, over 600 staff members, engineers, and workers working at Tunnel No. 3 underwent general health screenings, blood tests, blood pressure measurements, chest X-rays, abdominal and thyroid ultrasounds, respiratory function tests, and vision examinations. Notably, doctors also provided consultations on occupational disease prevention and guidance on maintaining good health in this unique working environment.

Nguyen Van Nghia, a shotcrete worker at the southern section of Tunnel No. 3, shared: “Working in a tunnel means constant exposure to dust and loud noise. Having regular health checkups reassures me about my health condition and helps detect occupational diseases early so that they can be addressed promptly”.

Similarly, Dinh Hoai Dong, a welder at the site, said: “Health checkups not only help identify potential health issues early but also provide valuable advice on protecting ourselves when working in environments with welding fumes and high temperatures”.

Periodic health checkups are an annual initiative by Deo Ca Group in collaboration with medical institutions to ensure workers' well-being. Mr. Vu Trong Hinh, Deputy Director of the Human Resources Department, emphasized that the Group is committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment for all employees. “In addition to mandatory health examinations, we focus on improving living conditions, such as providing fully equipped housing, clean dining facilities, and well-balanced, nutritious meals. At project management offices, we also set up recreational sports areas, including football fields, badminton courts, and table tennis, to help workers relax after long hours and maintain their physical health”, Mr. Hinh added.

The Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon expressway project is entering the final stages to meet the completion deadline set by the Prime Minister. Currently, construction on Tunnels No. 1 and No. 2 has been completed, and equipment installation is underway. Tunnel No. 3, the project’s most critical milestone, has reached 5,360m out of 6,400m in excavation and reinforcement, with tunnel lining concrete completed for 2,020m out of 6,400m. The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, seven months ahead of the contracted schedule.
