Health Care in Vietnam

In Vietnam, there is a horrible health care situation. No one has money to afford the health care, many people do not care about their health care, and no one knows that they are doing things that are bad for their health. The largest organization that is helping the children in Vietnam is UNICEF. In addition, the U.N. (United Nations) helps Vietnam with their health care situation. Vietnam has some of the worst health care facilities on Earth. However, just one person can make a difference with Vietnam's health care in many ways.
