ECF in Vietnam

Since 1993 

Our partnerships in Vietnam

Since then, the country has made significant steps towards excellent and accessible health care. The focus is now on developing sustainable eye care and allowing everyone to visit an optician and get an eye exam and prescription eyeglasses. To achieve these goals, Eye Care Foundation supports the education and training programmes of the medical eye care staff. The founded Vision Centres in district and provincial hospitals conduct eye exams in schools and for senior citizens. Public health informational activities about good eye care are organised from these Vision Centres, and further research is conducted. Eye Care Foundation works in four provinces: the Mekong Delta (Dong Thap, Binh Duong, Ca Mau, and Soc Trang) and Ho Chi Minh City.

Donations make our work possible

Our activities for good eye care are possible through active funding. Eye Care Foundation runs entirely on donations, large and small. Donations make our work possible; without them, these regions have no opportunities for good eye care. We use our donations directly for all our activities.
