The newest opportunity in Viet
Nam is from Hue Medical College and Pharmacy School. It has proposed a major
project for Vets With A Missions consideration. The $345,000 project is the
addition of an ER and ICU wing to its hospital. This would be in conjunction
with the first ER and ICU training program that would be offered by Hue
Medical College - the first ever in Viet Nam! Another non-governmental
organization, Good Samaritans http://gsmedicalministry.org/ has agreed to
train the physicians and other medical staff, and equip the new ER/ICU Wing
if VWAM can sponsor the construction phase. The Vietnamese have agreed to
give a naming opportunity to Vets With A Mission for funding this project.
There is also a unique situation in the development of this project, and for

VWAM would like to build a medical clinic in this central highlands location in Dak Lak Province. It would be managed by a Vietnamese couple, both physicians and Christians, that would have as its focus poor ethnic minorities and poor Vietnamese.
Projected cost of the Buon Me Thuot Medical Clinic is $23,000.
There is a rich and unique history concerning this proposed project involving former CMA and other humanitarian personnel dating back to 1968. Contact Chuck Ward at vetswithamission@backroads.net or call 803-405-9926 for details.
In Que Son Valley in Quang Nam Province, not far from the Provincial capital of Tam Ky, is the place where VWAM would like to build a small medical clinic or rural health care station. This region was one of the more volatile war-torn areas near Danang. Many Marines and Soldiers fought in this hotly contested location.
Projected cost of the Dai Loc Medical Clinic is $27,600.
Recent Typhoon Xangsane damaged several buildings and offices at Thanh Khe District Hospital. Thanh Khe District Hospital hosts VWAM medical teams that come throughout the year and operates under the auspices of the Danang Department of Health which cooperates with VWAM in building small medical clinics in Danang City.
Damage from the typhoon affected one area of the hospital that impacted both VWAM and the ability of the hospital to function. The patient processing and records section of the hospital, along with its computers and printers, was nearly destroyed by the storm due to rain and wind damaged.
This project would entail replacing all computers, printers, software and record files and cabinets. Cost of the Thanh Khe District Hospital Computer & Records Project is $17,250 to replace all ten computers, printers, software and accompanying files and cabinets.
In the mid-nineties VWAM sponsored the construction and creation of the Health Information and Education Center (HIEC) in Danang for the Department of Health. The purpose of this office was, and has been, to promote public health awareness and implement preventive health measures. The program has out grown space available at the current facility and a renovated or new building is desperately needed to expand the program to accommodate additional medical and health personnel.
Cost of the H.I.E.C project is $74,750.
