During the fourth outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic across the country, Dien Bien province has so far logged 57 infections while 2.607 persons having direct contacts with the infected cases (F1) are being quarantined, reported Dien Bien Phu Online.

To timely assist Dien Bien province in responding to the Covid-19 impact, on May 28, World Vision Vietnam, in collaboration with Dien Bien Department of Foreign Affairs, distributed a emergency aid package worth 10,141 U.S. dollars to 1,523 people from the F1 group, medical staff, and frontline forces from 12 quarantine areas in Si Pa Phin commune, Nam Po district.

Specifically, this emergency aid package has two main components: One contains essential commodities, such as drinking water, milk and canned fish/meat to ensure appropriate nutrition for 1,268 F1 in 12 concentrated quarantine areas.

The other includes medical supplies with protective bodysuits, antiseptic water, and masks to best protect 255 doctors and frontline workers from any potential infection of the virus.

For those who are not as familiar, World Vision is a global Christian humanitarian, development, and advocacy organization that provides short and long-term assistance to 100 million (and counting) people worldwide. Their focus is the well-being of the most vulnerable children.

The organization started working in Vietnam in 1988. Since then, World Vision has implemented many relief and development programs, partnering with the Vietnamese government, other NGOs, and communities.
