As we embark on the 4th Annual Pharmacy Mission to Vietnam, we are humbly grateful to Temple University School of Pharmacy. Without the support and confidence of Dean Peter Doukas, The APPE office, Faculty, Staff, and Administration, this would never be possible. We are grateful to be partnering again with Mercer University, School of Biomedical Engineering. Please enjoy our experience with us!

Tour of Binh Phuoc
The second city we set up clinic was in Binh Phuoc, which is nirthwest of Saigon, close to the Cambodia boarder. Unlike Ben Tre, which was an existing clinic, our team had to set uo a medical and prosthetics clinic in an area located inside a resort. for 6 days we have been totally focused and overloaded with hundreds of medical patients arriving each day. We have seen a total of about 100 yards from the front gate to the pavilion where the prosthetics area was set up.
Little did we know, that we were in front of 200 acres of a resort owned by My Le. My Le was voted one of the top-50 business woman in Vietnam and was given this land by the government after the war to help sustain the people of Binh Phuoc.
Today was a day off, and My Le was kind enough to allow our team to partake in some letting lose activities such as bumper cars, riding a roller coaster, and enjoying a water slide and pool area.
It really was just what the Doctor ordered. Each and every member of our team took advantage of some down time to refresh for the few days of clinic left to come.
Cam on rat nhieu My Le!!!
