HIV/AIDS Hospital

One of the most challenging moments on Discovery Vietnam was visiting an HIV/AIDS hospital in Hanoi.

We were warmly welcomed by the Director and staff as Samaritan’s Purse had been providing milk for 20 of the dying patients as that is all they can eat/drink.

There are no photos of this project for obvious reasons but we had the privilege of visiting the ward where there were about 20 men who were in the last stages of HIV/AIDS.  Many of them are outcast from their family because of the stigma still attached to the disease of HIV/AIDS, a few were shackled to their beds because they have been sent from prison.  No words can express the filth and sense of hopelessness in that place. 

In Cambodia Samaritan’s Purse runs the HIV/AIDS Prescription for Hope workshops.  Let us pray that this opportunity opens up in Vietnam.
