In addition to our ongoing educational work, we also make occasional donations of materials and building materials. Thanks to the support of donors, we were able to support the construction of a maternity ward and a pediatric ward at Muang Kham Hospital. The laboratories in the district hospitals also benefit not only from our expertise, but also from donations of materials, which we provide in collaboration with the laboratory of the provincial hospital in Phonsavan.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
