The Project Vietnam Foundation has worked in needy provinces of Vietnam since 1996. Among past achievements of Project Vietnam has been a three-year effort to identify vitamin K deficiency as a major cause of newborn death and campaign successfully for the adoption of a national policy for Vitamin K injection after birth.
Current ongoing programs consist of improvement of healthcare for newborn and pediatric emergency services, promoting sustainable Rural Health Standards, and the development of services for children with special healthcare needs. Project Vietnam has worked at 35 sites in Vietnam, trained a total of 43 provinces, and initiated interventions which have resulted in significant reduction in child mortality/morbidity and improved rural healthcare.
