Hoiana Integrated Resort has greatly contributed to many VCF’s programs since 2016. Over the last five years, Hoiana and VCF have provided 38 neonatal intensive care unit equipment that helped to save 604 newborns through Survive to Thrive program, and spent nearly 5.8 billion VND to renovate the school system in Quang Nam province. In addition, Hoiana contributed to saving children with congenital heart defects in 2016 and was one of the major donors in VCF’s disaster relief campaign in Central Vietnam in 2020. This Covid-19 emergency donation is a testament to Hoiana’s continuous commitment in accompanying VCF to improve the country’s medical capacity as well as to bring urgent assistance to the most vulnerable people during the pandemic.

“Help Vietnam Breathe – Vì Nhịp Thở Việt Nam” is a program implemented by VCF to raise funds for purchasing essential pandemic-fighting medical equipment including ventilators and personal protective equipment for hospitals treating Covid-19 patients and thousands of frontline healthcare workers as the pandemic prolongs and the number of newly infected cases increases dramatically. VCF will collaborate with the local authorities to distribute the medical equipment to the areas of most severe critical need. The “Help Vietnam Breathe – Vì Nhịp Thở Việt Nam” campaign has successfully deployed 57 ventilators, one ECMO and thousands of sets of PPE to Covid-19 treatment hospitals in HCMC, Long An, Can Tho, Binh Duong, Tay Ninh, and Quang Nam province.
