Project Vietnam

Project Vietnam has 3 main activities:

1) Medical missions to underserved rural areas, mainly northern Vietnam provinces:
The semi-annual missions provide life-changing surgeries for children with birth defects and eye problems, and primary care services to children at rural communes and schools. The medical team also collects meaningful data on prevalent health conditions and health status in rural areas, especially for women and children. The information allows us to develop appropriate interventions and local pilot programs to upgrade the existing healthcare system.

2) Training of health care personnel Semi-annually Project Vietnam bring volunteer faculty to update local health personnel through national conferences, training courses and hands-on clinical teaching. Ongoing exchanges are maintained through consultations and research projects.

3) Advocacy for sensible healthcare policies through collaboration with health professionals in Vietnam.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is dedicated to the health of all children.
