The Needs
Medical resources are extremely limited in the remote regions of Vietnam and there is a great need for visiting doctors and nurses who can provide a range of clinical services and help train local medical personnel.
|
Our partner in Canada
Medical Aid of Vietnam is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. David Neima, Dr.Hugh Parsons and Rev. Tien Tran in 1994 in Vancouver, Canada. Its purpose is to work with local doctors, clinics and hospitals to help the poor, the sick and the disabled children of Vietnam.
