On July 26th 2025, Dr. Tong Thi Huong Zhang visited MU - Varna. She was welcomed by the Vice-Rector for International Cooperation and President of the "Alumni Club and Friends of MU - Varna" Prof. Dr. Mario Milkov.
Dr. Tong Zhang was born in Hanoi and graduated medicine in 1996. She lived in Varna from 1990 to 1996 and shares that she has unforgettable experiences and cherished memories. She remembers her student life, difficult exams and many friends from different countries.
She also remembers her wonderful teachers. Assoc. Prof. Nanov examined her in anatomy and she got a very good mark. Her pharmacology assistant and the pathoanatomy assistant were very nice and helped her a lot. She is so grateful to them!
Dr. Tong Zhang says that studying medicine is a long and difficult journey. She remembers that the exams were very tough. For her, the hardest exam was in anatomy. She remembers the names of all her classmates in the 5th group of the first stream.
After graduation, she returned to Vietnam and was accepted in the master's program at the University of Medicine in Hanoi. Since 2000, she has been working as a doctor at the National Geriatric Hospital in Hanoi, as well as at the department of internal medicine.
To this day, she maintains ties with colleagues from Vietnam who graduated from medical universities in Varna, Sofia and Pleven.
This summer she has the opportunity to return to her beloved Varna and visit MU - Varna after 29 years. "And so my dream came true. I felt very excited and happy. I saw that our university has many positive changes. I will do my best to find other medical graduates in Varna and Bulgaria.". I would like to become a member of the Alumni and Friends Club of MU – Varna – says Dr. Zhang.
She sincerely expresses her love for Bulgaria, and especially for Varna, and thanks MU - Varna for the excellent preparation. She wishes MU - Varna to always be a leader among medical universities.
