General Hospital in the northern mountainous region of Quang Nam, Quang Nam province
Overview
The International Center (formerly known as Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation -VVAF) is a humanitarian organization that has addressed the consequences of war through advocacy and service programs in Vietnam for the last three decades. As a cofounder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, IC-VVAF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997. Now The International Center (IC) focuses on disability support, landmine removal, and mental health programs.
The Moving Without Limits Project
Under the financial support of United States Agency for International Development (USAID), IC is implementing the Disability Support Project named “Moving without Limits” in the three provinces of Thua Thien Hue, Quang Nam and Binh Dinh. The project aims to improve people with disability’s access to quality assistive technologies or devices (AD/AT) in the target provinces, thus enhancing their independence in activities of daily living and participation in social activities
Three specific objectives include:
- Improved availability of quality assistive technologies/devices (AT/AD) for people with mobility impairments in Thua Thien Hue, Quang Nam and Binh Dinh;
- Improved capacity for the health sector workforce at the national and sub-national levels,
- Improved advocacy for policies/regulations and information sharing related to AT/AD.
Context and Purpose of Assignment
In order to improve the capacity of local health workers, IC has supported a number of provincial hospitals, including General hospital in the northern mountainous region of Quang Nam (GHNMR Quang Nam) to establish one (01) transit house/occupational therapy unit to provide rehabilitation services with high quality for patients and people with disabilities (PWDs) in the province.
The transition house/occupational therapy unit provides rehabilitation services for patients and PWDs in maintaining independence regarding their activities of daily living before discharging from hospital. Therefore, they can reintegrate independently to society. This area is also an illustration model for home modifications to help people with mobility impairments to perform their activities of daily living conveniently.
