AustCare aims to improve the health of the rural population in Vietnam by helping to rectify the lack of essential medical resources and expertise required to counter cataract disease. A group of volunteer Australian doctors work with local Vietnamese medical professionals and provide travelling clinics in various provinces in partnership with Austcare.

They select the most poor and vulnerable people and perform a 20 minute cataract operation on them. Approximately 24 hours after the operation, the patient will again be able to see.

Our Partner organisation is the Vietnamese-Australian Buddhist Assistance Trust Inc. (VABAT). VABAT, an incorporated charity, has an extensive network of volunteers in Vietnam that provide medical services. These volunteers work under the co-ordination of professional Australian medical staff.
