GVI is committed to improving healthcare services and education in northern Vietnam, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Recognizing the ongoing challenges in healthcare delivery, GVI partners with local hospitals, universities, and community organizations to provide specialized training and support. For example, GVI collaborates with the Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology (VNIO) to train pediatric eye doctors in advanced surgical techniques and new methodologies for treating eye diseases. These training sessions have a lasting impact, equipping local doctors with the skills and knowledge needed to provide higher-quality care to their patients.
In addition to medical training, GVI supports health and hygiene education programs in schools, hospitals, and orphanages, teaching children the importance of practices like regular handwashing and proper nutrition. These initiatives are crucial for preventing illness and ensuring that children have the basic health foundation needed for learning and growth. GVI also provides critical nutritional support to public school children and orphans, ensuring that they receive the necessary sustenance for their physical and cognitive development. Through these comprehensive efforts, GVI is making a tangible difference in the health and well-being of communities across northern Vietnam.
