A Vietnam hospital that was struggling to provide medical services due to poor medical facilities has received a much-needed donation of medical equipment. The hospital of Na Ri district in Bac Kan province received a donation of an anesthesia machine and two patient monitors, valued at over VND 300 million.
The unexpected donation was made by Trang An hospital, which is owned by Medtech. The company has also promised to provide 60 beds to the Na Ri hospital in 2008. In addition, Trang An hospital will continue to provide other necessary hospital equipment as well as free surgery and testing training for doctors in Bac Kan province.
This donation will allow the hospital at Na Ri to improve health care for local people, especially ethnic minority groups. The hospital is currently understaffed, with only 14 doctors and one pharmacist.
