Vietnamâs rural populace enjoys better healthcare services thanks to smart investment in hospital upgrading
Nguyen Thi Noi, 38, felt a sudden and stabbing pain in her left knee while working on her farm on a scorching summer day. Her husband immediately took her to the biggest hospital in the area - the Yen Bai General Hospital - which is 15 kilometers away from their farm. Her doctor concluded that a ligament in her knee was damaged and ordered a laparoscopic surgery. The operation went well, and she was recovering when we visited.
Things would have been different had the accident happened to Noi four or more years ago. She might have needed to seek care in a bigger hospital in Hanoi - which is a day away from her home in a remote village in Yen Bai Province.
