How we collaborate in Vietnam
Since 1993, ECF has been implementing blindness prevention programs in Vietnam in close collaboration with local partners, with a strong focus on vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
Although Vietnam has achieved lower-middle-income status, the country continues to face significant challenges, including an unequal distribution of eye care professionals between urban and rural areas, limited access to eye care services, and low public awareness of eye health. Over the years, we have worked closely with our partners to address these challenges and deliver comprehensive eye care services to communities across the Mekong Delta. Our interventions include improving child eye care (uncorrected refractive error, myopia management, pediatric eye surgery) as well as eye care for the elderly, such as cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
With continued collaboration and support, we can continue our mission to reduce the avoidable blindness burden in Vietnam.
