It also provides services for nearly 4,000 revolutionary contributors in Quang Tri and 500 others from central and Central Highlands provinces every year.
It has recently undergone upgrades at a cost of nearly 28 billion VND (1.26 million USD).
During the visit, the leader reiterated that the Party and State always keep in mind the contributors’ participation in and sacrifices to the struggle for national liberation and independence.
He was delighted that these heroic mothers and revolutionary contributors have been well cared for by the centre’s staff and Quang Nam province in particular.
Greater endeavours should be made in the caring of revolutionary contributors, he said, calling for people nationwide to take practical deeds towards these people.
The same day, President Tran Dai Quang paid homage to late President Ho Chi Minh and martyrs at the Nuoc Oa national historical and cultural relic site in Bac Tra My district, and visited the commemorative house of the late acting President Huynh Thuc Khang.
