Checking a patient for abdominal problem
In March of 2009, our first team of Vietnamese doctors from the hospital in Saigon and young American physicians from Loyola Medical School in Chicago took the four-hour bus drive to the orphanage. Medical care was given to all the orphans and the handicapped patients from the village.
