We\u2019re excited to report on three cataract surgery missions that were completed in quarter 2! The first two missions took place in Hanoi at the Vietnam-Japan Eye Hospital for 197 patients from Nam \u0110inh and 177 patients from Th\u00e1i B\u00ecnh. They received food, transporation, medical care, free cataract surgeries, and post-op care. These missions were made possible by the generosity of Mr. Bui Duc Hop and Son Nam Group<\/strong> (San Jose, CA) and Mr. Bui Van Vien<\/strong> (Hanoi, Vietnam).<\/p>\n Thanks to the support of Mr. Thomas Nguyen<\/strong> (Orange County, CA), the third, ongoing surgical mission is currently taking place at the Thu Duc Hospital for patients from Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan. Our plan is to provide free surgery to another 200 patients by the mission\u2019s end. As of this printing, 163 patients have been served and regained their vision.<\/p>\n The patients were very diverse, including both males and females. So far, the eldest patient was born in 1934, and the youngest patient was born in 1993. That\u2019s a 59 year age gap, which just goes to show how cataracts are a pervasive problem that can affect a range of people in Vietnam.<\/p>\n (Click “Read the rest of this entry” below for the Vietnamese translation!)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trong qu\u00fd II v\u1eeba qua VNHELP th\u1ef1c hi\u1ec7n ba ch\u01b0\u01a1ng tr\u00ecnh ph\u1eabu thu\u1eadt th\u1ee7y tinh th\u1ec3 cho b\u1ec7nh nh\u00e2n \u1edf Nam \u0110\u1ecbnh, Th\u00e1i B\u00ecnh v\u00e0 B\u00ecnh Thu\u1eadn.
