FV Secretaries’ Day 2026: silent blooms shining in their own way

On 23 April 2026, FV Hospital celebrated World Secretaries’ Day, an annual occasion dedicated to recognising our medical secretaries — trusted partners who play an essential role in patient care.

“Live like flowers” is the theme World Secretaries’ Day this year

With the theme “Live Like Flowers”, the programme created a warm and uplifting atmosphere. On stage, the dance performance “Xin Chao Vietnam” by FV secretaries reflected their confidence, energy and strong team spirit. Though not professional performers, their genuine smiles and enthusiasm made the performance especially meaningful, much like the care and dedication they bring to their daily work.
