Our Mission 

Project Vietnam Foundation’s mission is to improve the health and healthcare of people living in underserved rural communities of Vietnam. We carry out this mission through providing free healthcare services throughout the country, medical training of local healthcare professionals, and advocacy to reform government healthcare policies. Project Vietnam’s volunteer workers, nurses, physicians, dentists, and surgeons work together to improve health services in Vietnam and help all underserved Vietnamese live healthier lives.

Project Vietnam has worked in needy provinces of Vietnam since 1996. Among past achievements of Project Vietnam has been a 3-year effort to identify vitamin K deficiency as a major cause of newborn death and campaign successfully for the adoption of a national policy for Vitamin K injection after birth.

Current ongoing programs consist of improvement of healthcare for newborn and pediatric emergency services, promoting sustainable standards for Infection Control, and the development of services for children with special healthcare needs Project Vietnam has worked at 24 sites in Vietnam, trained a total of 43 provinces, and initiated interventions which have resulted in significant reduction in child mortality/morbidity and improved rural healthcare.

 Project Vietnam collaborates with other NGOs and educational institutions and actively seeks partnerships to accomplish its goals for empowerment of the local healthcare professionals and health services for the most vulnerable populations.
