SAP-VN's yearly Free Mobile Health Care Project started in 1994. Since then, the Free Mobile Health Care Project has provided health and dental care to many poor villagers in Vietnam. The team members and locations of work vary each year as the team travels to different villages in southern and central Vietnam per assignment.
All traveling and living expenses are self-paid by the volunteers. Medical and dental inventories are donated as needed. If you would like to donate non-expired medicine or dental supplies for the Free Mobile Health Care team, please contact lknguyen@ucsd.edu or call (714) 901-1997 for more information.
