Music Is the Best Medicine.

The 108 Military Central Hospital in Hanoi turns to music in treating its patients that mostly include injured soldiers and war invalids. This is one of the most prestigious hospitals in Vietnam as its capacities that stand out span the entire medical spectrum.

In an effort to ease patients' mental lives, the hospital has put a piano in the lobby and called for good-willed and volunteer musicians to play traditional or patriotic songs. Though it's hard to bury all feelings attaching to missing one's family or military unity, musicians' melodies appease patients' longing.
