VIETNAM MEDICAL MISSION 2012

In cooperation with Aid For Kids

On December 2012, 2 doctors, 1 lab technician, 1 volunteer and 10 students from Nova University came to Vietnam for a medical mission trip for 2 weeks to work in Ben Tre Province (Mekong delta area) in cooperation with Aid For Kids .

Shortly after they arrived to Ben Tre, all the doctors and students were greeted by the government officers from the Department of Labor – Ben Tre with a fresh coconut drink.

Then ready for setting clinic and start working

Everyday, we moved to different villages in Ben Tre to do the medical care and make sure that more people received treatment from our program…
