For the past 20 years, the Good Samaritan Medical Dental Ministry has been going to Vietnam every year to treat the poor, show the love of God, and present the Gospel. They are comprised of a large medical team that travels to various villages treating approximately 300 patients each day during a 2-week period.

Any patients needing possible surgical intervention are transported from their village to a hotel in Cao Bang, Vietnam (north of Hanoi), where they are evaluated by the surgeons for possible surgery.

The Provincial Hospital of Cao Bang provides the surgical team 2 operating rooms for their patients. The surgical team usually consists of 3 or 4 specialists, Head and Neck, Plastic, Gyn, and possibly a General Surgeon.

They are in need of an Ophthalmologist, along with a support team, to treat the large number of people with cataracts. The hospital has a very nice ophthalmic microscope which would be available for your use, but you would need to bring/send your own supplies and meds.

While the medical (Village) team goes for 2 weeks, the surgical team only goes for the 2nd of these weeks.  The cost of the airfare would be approximately $1400 and then another $500 for your room and board.
