Le Thanh Hop from the Ho Chi Minh City Charity Association said that the health care program was launched by the association eight years ago and this is the third time its medical team has traveled to Cambodia.
From the beginning of this year, the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia, social charity organisations, agencies, and units in Vietnam have sent medical groups and volunteer doctors to visit and provide free medical check-ups for people of Vietnamese origin in Cambodia and those from other ethnic groups as well as Cambodian nationals.
Because the cost of medical services is quite high compared to the average income in the country, such charity activities are practical and useful, as well as show solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia./.
