On September 29, 2023, Vietnam Children’s Fund Social Enterprise and partners and sponsors presented five essential medical devices to Khanh Vinh District Medical Center, Khanh Hoa Province, with a total value of 100 million VND. This activity aims to provide crucial healthcare support for expectant mothers and infants to alleviate the burden on local medical teams.
The medical equipment handed over today included 01 obstetric monitor, 01 urine analyzer, 01 nebulizer, 01 multi-functional medical trolley, and 01 injection pump.
In addition, the event also awarded 120 Mid-Autumn gifts to children at Khanh Vinh District Medical Center. The gifts included essential items such as cakes, candies, lanterns, clothing, and shoes, totaling 25 million VND. This initiative brought warmth and joy to children in challenging circumstances, particularly in remote mountainous areas like Khanh Vinh district. By providing a complete and joyful Mid-Autumn celebration, we ensure that these children can fully participate in the festivities alongside their peers.
As one of the two most challenging districts in Khanh Hoa province, with over 72% of the population belonging to ethnic minorities, Khanh Vinh district faces numerous challenges, particularly in providing healthcare for local communities. The lack of essential medical equipment for newborns in rural healthcare centers poses risks to mothers and infants, increasing referral rates and burdening higher-level hospitals. This medical equipment will enhance the healthcare and emergency response capabilities for newborns and mothers in this region, providing the best possible start for infants from birth.
