Long Xuyen Hospital Key to Vietnams Delta Health Efforts
In Long Xuyen in the Mekong Delta an Australian led team, with American support, runs one of Vietnam’s most efficient civilian hospitals. Since 1964 Australians staff the 450 bed facility, while Vietnamese doctors and nurses handle most patient care. The hospital treats many provincial cases, with war wounds less common in An Giang, and faces drug shortages and transport challenges.
