What we do in Viet Nam

Since 1994 we have provided a full range of abortion and contraceptive services throughout Viet Nam. We served 327,016 clients during 2011, which will prevent an estimated 226,045 unsafe abortions and avoid 231maternal deaths.

How we deliver services

Our centres offer a full range of reproductive health and abortion services. They lead the field in clinical quality standards and client focus, doubling as knowledge centres for our outreach teams and social franchisees.

Mobile clinics comprising a doctor, nurse and driver/assistant travel to hard to reach parts of the country such as the Central Highlands, the Mekong Delta and mountainous regions to offer a variety contraceptive, often to ethnic minority groups.

Our social franchise network includes both private clinics and commune health stations to achieve high levels of clinical quality and client service. This approach allows us to expand access to services in a resource efficient manner.
