The villagers are often deprived of satisfying diagnosis and often at the mercy of crooks. Certain doctors dare to scare them: "You must undergo surgery immediately or I will not take any responsibility". The peasants are impressed and sell land and assets for an intervention which is not necessary! Viêt Nam Plus proposes a second opinion from a friendly specialist in town.

Thu has always an enormous smile: "I am lucky, my husband has a good job and earns 2 euros per day for 6 months a year. I have had bone tuberculosis, I could not get a proper treatment as the medicines were too expensive.. In the end it was so painful that I had to return to the hospital. They were nice: they cut my leg for free!"

Trung, veterinary of Viêt Nam Plus, was already helping Thu to raise pigs. He decided to call Handicap in Hôchiminh City and was given a contact. He organized her transport, gave a few dozens euros for the various epxpenses at the hospital... Today Thu smiles even more than before and... stands on 2 legs! Besides the pigs, she increases the family income as a daily laborer for light works.
