Japan gives grant to elderly care centre
The Japanese Embassy in Hanoi on August 28 provided healthcare funding of US$120,700 to the Tuyet Thai Elderly Care Centre in Hanoi's Dong Anh District.
The money will be used to purchase medical equipment such as X-ray machines and rehabilitation machines, and patient monitoring.
The grant is part of a non-refundable aid deal worth US$325,080 that the Japanese Embassy signed with Vietnam early this year. The rest of the aid would be used to build primary schools in BacKan and Ha Nam provinces.
Currently, 32 elderly individuals aged 58-103 are receiving care at the Tuyet Thai Elderly Care Centre.
