Vietnam Health Improvement Project

The Viet Nam Health Improvement Project (VNHIP) was started in 2008 to bring medical knowledge and skills to disadvantaged people, especially the children living with HIV, people with disabilities and ethnic minority people in the Central Viet Nam. VNHIP focuses on four strategic projects. The first project “Non-communicable Disease Management” is improving the healthcare of 74,000 people. More than 2,200 ethnic minority children have access better to water, toilets and health education through the second project “Water, Sanitation and Hygiene”. The third project "HIV Care Saves Lives” has improved the quality of life for more than 120 children infected or affected by HIV. Our fourth project on “Disabilities” supported 120 successful surgeries for Vietnamese with heart defects and provided physical therapy and inclusive education for more than 80 children with disabilities.
