>April 1, 1998

>Project Outreach is happy to announce that its Web page is up and running:
>www.nucleus.com/outreach.
>
>Started in 1993, this group of volunteers from the Alberta Children's
>Hospital currently has its third team in Vietnam as part of a 6 year
>agreement between the Da Nang General Hospital and Project Outreach. The
>goal of Project Outreach is that all children, no matter where they live,
>have a right to the basic medical care that will allow them to lead healthy,
>happy, productive lives. We believe that the best way to provide this care
>is through local Health Care Professionals and that Canadian physicians and
>nurses must focus on education and fostering the independent ability of our
>colleagues.
>
>Teaching on this trip is focused on the surgical, medical and nursing care
>of children in the areas of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,
>Ophthalmology and Urology.
>
>Travelling through Ho Chi Minh City on prior trips Project Outreach was
>asked to help at the Cancer Center.  It is one of only two Cancer Centers
>for the entire country of over 75 million people.  A pediatrician and a
>nurse from the Oncology Program of the Alberta Children's Hospital are now
>there teaching and performing a needs assessment.
>
>The Project Outreach web site describes the organization in more detail. We
>would be interested in hearing from other individuals and groups.
