Support
for HIV-infected children in the pediatric hospital in Hanoi |
|
In the autumn of 2009, we began
focusing our efforts towards providing health
care for HIV-infected children from the rural areas in
northern Vietnam.
In Hanoi, there is one hospital where HIV-infected children from northern
Vietnam can receive medical care.
We keep in
contact with employees of this hospital. They
tell us that the poorest families from the rural areas can not afford the
fees for the medical care.
This
is where our help begins. With your donations we support the poorest families from the rural areas of northern Vietnam, so that the children of these families can receive medical care.
Some families have to bring their children to the hospital frequently.
Each time they have to pay the fees for the medical care.
In September and October 2009 we began
supporting the first
18 families.
The families are very thankful to all the donors.
If you want to support our work, please see our page "help">>

Our photo shows the 10 day old infant with Loan, one of
the volunteers of Hope For Tomorrow.
This baby was born prematurely in the 7th month.
The mother is HIV-infected and left the baby alone with
the father after giving birth.
In the provincial hospital the baby was rejected, due to
the HIV infection of the mother.
The father brought the baby to Hanoi.

For two months this boy is
suffered from high fever and could not eat anything. As a last hope, the parents brought him to Hanoi.
But the help came too late.
