With the support of the

districts and city between now and September.

The programme is within the framework of a project on
strengthening rehabilitation care and training funded by the US Agency for
International Development (USAID) through HI and conducted by partners in Ho

Medical workers in communes were equipped with knowledge and
skills to detect cerebral palsy in children, care for children affected by the
diseases at different ages and train them in basic daily movements.

On the occasion, the HI partnered with the Thua Thien – Hue

for patients after suffering from stroke, brain trauma, spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

A representative from HI said the organisation is working
with Vietnamese agencies to fine-tune policies to improve lives of the disabled
in Vietnamese localities.
