The signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding between STARMED GROUP and VIETNAM CHILDREN’S FUND marks an important step in the journey of spreading love and connecting the community, opening up a brighter future for thousands of children in the highlands.
MOU signing ceremony between STARMED & Vietnam Children’s Fund
On August 26, in Ho Chi Minh City (VCF), STARMED Pharmaceutical Group and Vietnam Children’s Fund officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to implement a program to care for children in remote areas.
This memorandum of understanding is the basis for STARMED and Vietnam Children’s Fund to develop a detailed cooperation plan to donate essential medical equipment to Meo Vac District General Hospital, Ha Giang Province.
With the hope of contributing and improving the facilities and taking care of the health of newborns in Meo Vac district in the best way, STARMED in cooperation with VCF will donate essential medical equipment in the treatment and care of newborns such as: ventilators, nebulizers, warming beds, etc. to the hospital. At the same time, a training course on neonatal resuscitation will be organized for the team of doctors and nurses here to operate and use the equipment effectively and master neonatal resuscitation methods, thereby improving medical capacity.
About the Newborn Care Program in Remote Areas
The Newborn Care Program in Remote Areas was established with the goal of preserving life and reducing infant mortality in remote, isolated, and extremely disadvantaged areas. The place we stopped at was Meo Vac district, Ha Giang province, a famous place with wild and majestic scenery, but the lives of the people here are still very difficult.
With rugged terrain and far from medical facilities, many mothers here have to give birth at home, making the journey of giving birth even more difficult and dangerous. The lack of medical care also causes the rate of premature birth and maternal and newborn mortality to increase.
According to information from the Department of Maternal and Child Health, Ministry of Health, the neonatal mortality rate in Vietnam is still high, accounting for 70-80% of child deaths under 1 year old. Notably, in mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas, the infant mortality rate is the highest.
This makes us even more heartbroken and always concerned with the desire to contribute a little effort, no matter how small, so that the young buds here can be born safely and grow up with more thoughtful care.
