Providing Equal Access To Health Care In Vietnam

Dr. Carla Epps Examining Van Hieu
Originally uploaded by interplast.

One such devoted volunteer is Dr. Carla Epps, from the Washington, DC area. Early on clinic day, she examined our tiniest patient, Van Hieu. He is 2 months old from Phong My. Because of the timing of this Interplast trip, Van Hieu will have his cleft lip fixed at about the same age as most children born in countries with more access to reconstructive surgery and/or with more economic means.

We are so moved to see these wonderful stories of children and communities knit together by such loving and skilled doctors, nurses, technicians and assistants. Thank you for doing what so many of us in the US want to do for families in Vietnam -- show our care, love and concern.
Our local FCV group in Washington would love to host a dinner for Dr. Epps on her return to hear more about how adoptive families with children from Vietnam can support your remarkable work in Vietnam, the country of our childrens' birth.
