Intro

Mission

Provide personal hygiene kits to patients in public hospitals in Hanoi.

In Vietnam, annually, over 17,000 suffer from deaths caused by diseases like Tuberculosis, Lung cancer, and food pesticides. Even though it can be prevented easily, most of the public hospitals in Hanoi don’t have access to sanitary products of high quality or variety. Moreover, there are 125 outbreaks, 2100 people are affected, and 28 deaths after getting foodborne, pollution, etc illnesses and over 90% of the population is concerned about these illnesses spreading around in the marketplace (unsanitary food). This can affect the HDI status. For example, it would affect the decent standard of living because GNI per capita decreased from $2,610 in 2018 to $2,430 in 2020. It also affects long and healthy life since from 2020 to 2021, the average life expectancy slightly decreased to 73.6 years. These negative changes have a significant impact on Vietnam because they would reduce the investments in infrastructure, education, and health care. Many hospitals had large outbreaks causing many to die. This has actually happened in 2021 covid when entire hospitals staff and patients were infected. Trapping people without help.
