These are a continuation of the charity activities that HDBank has been undertaking for many years across the country and in the Mekong Delta in particular.

In 2021, during the fourth wave of Covid-19, Sovico Group, HDBank and its member units also promptly supported southwestern provinces with medical equipment like ambulances and ventilators worth more than VND35 billion ($1.4 million).
