Clinic in New VillageLocation of service: Ho Chi Minh City and its suburban district. Background: The clinic was created by the cooperation of a local church and private donors with the purpose to serve the poor in the suburban areas of Ho Chi Minh City and patients' camps. Their involvement is extraordinary because they are committed to high quality healthcare with the emphasis in respecting the patients. For those who cannot afford the care, the healthcare providers at this clinic will do their best to make sure the patients receive medical attention free of charge. In addition to treating the patients, they also teach patients how to take care of themselves. The clinic provides the patients with pamphlets of information about different health topics such as HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and much more. When the clinic has enough resources, they usually make trips to patients' camps, such as leprosy camp, HIV camp, and elderly camp, to take care of those patients.
