REAP Medical Missions

Throughout Vietnam, REAP has actively supported and staffed numerous medical clinics with an emphasis on children. Programs include:

Infant Mortality

REAP established a program which significantly reduced infant mortality by authoring and sponsoring a malnutrition program for infants in Saigon.

Outreach

REAP sponsors medical outreach trips to remote and impoverished areas.

Cardiac Catheterization Lab

We established the first cardiac catheterization lab available to ordinary and disadvantaged citizens at Nguyen Trai Hospital in Saigon.

ICC/CCU

This program established a new ICC/CCU with monitoring beds at Nguyen Trai Hospital.

Pulmonary/Respiratory Department

REAP established a pulmonary/respiratory department, including donated ventilators at Nguyen Trai Hospital.

On-Going Training and Support

We provide in-country training in cardiology and ophthalmology. Vietnamese cardiologists can now successfully perform catheterizations, as well as invasive surgery, including lifesaving angioplasty and stint deployment. REAP sponsored ophthalmologists train Vietnamese physicians.

The Blind Shall See

Thousands of children in Vietnam suffer congenital blindness due to cataracts. REAP-sponsored ophthalmologists have provided training to Vietnam physicians. For the cost of an artificial lens, which is usually less than $75, and the no-fee services of the Vietnam doctors, these children can see. Without REAP's help, they would remain blind for the rest of their lives.
