2020 Spring Medical Mission Registration Closed
Our Missions in Vietnam Have Served

Over 2050 children have been given the gift of reconstructive surgery. With the help of local health services, PVNF is able to locate children in need of cleft lip and palate surgery. Many of these surgeries require a follow-up care of nutritional support, speech therapy and a follow-up surgery.

Over 93,000 patients through our Primary Care Missions. Every year, volunteers sign up for our Spring Medical Mission to provide Medical Care, Dental Aid, Vision Checks and Pharmaceutical Services. Our Spring Mission typically begin around February or March.

Our Dental Team have served thousands of children who have never had dental services provided to them in the rural highland regions of Vietnam. Many children who live in the rural areas have no access to dental care; resulting in tooth decay, loss of teeth and poor dental hygiene.

Hundreds of Medical Professionals have been provided with Medical Training and Education focused programs in Neo-Natalogy, Pediatrics, Cardiology, Specialized Care (i.e. Infectious Diseases, Pulmonary Care, Mental Health)

TO GIVE SIGHT TO THE CHILDREN For over 18 years, Project Vietnam Surgery teams have restored the Smile of children with Cleft lip/palate and the Sight of children with vision problems. Our Eye specialists trained Vietnam professionals to perform the surgery, and advocated for national insurance coverage, adopted in 2013. The Primary care team routinely provides Vision testing and eyeglasses for school children, and reading glasses for adults. On October 19, 2019, the World Health published the Report on World Vision : 1/3 of the world population is blind from preventable causes, especially in Asia where there is genetically higher risk for vision problem.
