PROGRAMS DESCRIPTIONS
1 – Healthcare Assistance Program (2018 Actual):
Total For Healthcare Assistance Program: 741,430,000$ VN
(~ 32,000$ USD)
This item consists of two parts:
- Cao Thượng Health Clinic (Located in Kon Jodreh, Kontum)
- Medicine Cabinets Program for Remote Montagnard Villages
1.1 Cao Thượng Health Clinic (2018 Actual Costs): 506,380,000$ VN
(~ 22,000$ USD)
The Cao Thượng Health Clinic was founded in 2010 by KMF in Kon Jơdreh Village, situated 10km from the City of Kontum, with the purpose of providing health exams and cares / cures for the poor, free of charge, regardless of their religions, mostly for the montagnards belonging to the villages from Kon Rẫy County which is one of the poorest counties in Kontum Province.
The Cao Thượng Health Clinic is opened daily, including on Saturdays and Sundays from 7.30h to 17.00h. Each day, the health clinic workers provide health exams and dole out medicines to approximately 60 poor and needy patients. On weekends, however, it normally is more crowded, in the range of 90 to 120 people. In addition, the workers fan out to provide exams and medicines to the old and the handicapped who cannot move around in the region.
Typically, the monthly costs of the healthcare workers and the upkeep of the clinic run about 20 million VN (~880$ USD each month) with the additional cost of the medicines about 30 million VN (~1,320$ USD each month).
Cao Thuong Health Clinic patients visits in the presence of a local doctor and available daily nurse consultations.
The health clinic is stocked with basic medicines for distribution following doctor visits and nurse consultations.
1.2 Medicine Cabinets for Remote Montagnard Villages (2018 Actual Costs)
235,050,000 $VN (~ 10,000$USD)
The Medicine Cabinets Program for remote montagnard villages has been in existence since 2012. Up until now, twenty villages are recipients of this program. Village recipients to this program are from various counties from Kontum and Pleiku Provinces, from Tumorong, Dak Glei, Ngọc Hồi, Dak To…to Sa Thầy, Dak Hà, Dak Đoa…
The Medicine Cabinets Program is locally administered by the village priest or the religious sisters, the Yă (the religious sisters from the montagnard villages) who have some knowledge in basic healthcare.
Naturally, local people in the region rather come to their local priests and religious sisters for their healthcare needs in lieu of the health centers in their villages and counties with an unspoken understanding that they can be easily listened to and receive the medicine free of charge. However, there is a limit to the available resources. Each month, the cost of this program runs about 1,600$ US. In 2018, KMF can only fund approximately 10,000$ USD (235,050,000$ VN actual). So the funding only covers 6 months of the year.
