On March 7th 2010, in cooperation with the Union of Friendship Organisation Thua Thien Hue and Phu Loc Red Cross, Hue Help carried out a medical care session for disadvantaged residents of Hoi Mit and Hoi Dua villages, Lang Co town, Phu Loc District, TTHue Province.
Hoi Mit and Hoi Dua are two of the poorest villages of Phu Loc district, with a population of about 2,000 inhabitants. Their living conditions are very difficult, and the villagers are not usually able to access medical care. With a team of 7 doctors, one pharmacist and 3 medical students, we made medical examinations and provided treatment for 278 patients. As well as this, we were able to advise the patients on preventing disease. During the medical care session, we found that the proportion of children with dental disease is very high and that the local infirmary has no specialised doctors or dental equipment to treat the children in time.
The next medical care session will be carried out for people living in Phu Vang District, Thua Thien Hue Province.
