The delegation split in two groups to do surgical works at various sites in Ben Tre. Group one carried out operations at the Hospital of Nguyen Dinh Chieu – Ben Tre’s main hospital, while the second group came to districts of Cho Lach, Binh Dai, Giong Trom and Mo Cay Nam to carry out eye surgery for poor patients there, most of them elderly.
Altogether, about 1.5 billion of Vietnamese dongs, which was incurred totally by Project Health Inc, were used to fund the charitable works.
This is the second time Project Health Inc came to Ben Tre for charitable activities, after the first trip in 2008.
