Mission Statement
Vietnam Health Clinic (VHC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health care access and services to under-resourced populations of Vietnam, while promoting a proactive learning experience for its student volunteers.
Description
Over a span of two weeks, VHC hosts a mobile health clinic, providing medical, dental, optometric, pharmaceutical, and therapeutic services. With the help of our local community and sponsors over the past 8 years, we were able to provide aid to over 10,000 patients. Our volunteers, both health professionals and students, are providers, navigators, and personal interpreters. Our student members gain valuable healthcare experience by immersing themselves in rural medicine and basic healthcare systems: from triage and diagnosis, to treatment and pharmacy consultation.
