Needs
Provide medical care to people living in remote areas of Vietnam who lack access to care because of shortages of doctors, nurses and other health care professionals.
Action/results
A group of health care professionals, students and volunteers from Canada, the United States and Australia travel annually to remote areas of Viet Nam to offer care that can include heart surgery, cataract surgery, eye examinations and glasses, as well as dental care. This care is offered in partnership with local hospitals, clinics and doctors.
