A group of doctors and nurses from Ho Chi Minh city, in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel in Vietnam together with the Vietnam Fatherland Front, visited Kon Ray District in late May to conduct free health checks and treatments.
The medical team consisted of nine doctors, seven nurses and twenty-one other logistics staff members. They offered medical treatment in the five communes of Dac Rve, Dac Tre, Dac To Lung, Dac Ruong and Tan Lap in Kon Ray District, Kon Tum Province.
A total of 2,531 people received dental and medical examinations and treatments. One child suffering from an inguinal hernia will be taken to HCM City for an operation free of charge. Two more children suspected of suffering from heart related diseases will be further examined at Kon Tum General Hospital. If the team's initial diagnoses are correct, they will also be taken to HCM City for operations. The Vietnam Family Medical Practice will cover all related costs.
The team delivered a large amount of general supplies and foodstuffs directly to local people at health checks and treatment points in two more communes of Kon Ray District known as Dac Koi and Dac Pne.
Each commune or town received 350kg of rice and 30kg of salt together with other provisions like toys, soap, shampoo, clothes, learning materials and condoms.
Based on the initial response, there is a good likelihood that co-operation between the Israeli Embassy, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the Vietnam Family Medical Practice will continue in the future.
The Kon Tum health department is also working on a project funded by the Sweden International Development Agency to present similar public health checks and treatments every six months in Kon Tum villages up to 2009.
Dong, director of the project, said they were also working on another health project with the European Commission.
