Mrs Duong Thi Tuyet is one of the approximately 150,000 people in Vietnam who are told they have cancer, every year. Mrs Tuyet lives in a rural area and because of a critical shortage of trained Cancer specialists, her diagnosis came very late.

She needs to undergo at least 6 rounds of radiotherapy costing around US$5,400. If Mrs Tuyet was diagnosed earlier, the costs would be significantly smaller and she would have a far better chance in her battle against Cancer.

The sooner we can provide essential training, the more lives we can save through preventative action, early diagnosis and better treatment.

==========================

Approximately 75,000 lives are lost in Vietnam every year because of a simple lack of trained Cancer specialists and poor distribution of information regarding the deadly illness. As recognised by the UICC and MAKNA International, this is a problem that needs solving NOW.

By providing training to healthcare professionals throughout Vietnam, MAKNA International Vietnam will impact not only the hundreds of thousands of Cancer sufferers in Vietnam but will aid in preventing cancer cases in the years to come.

Your donation will make a huge difference and only together will we be able to change the lives of thousands of people.
