Interplast Australia and New Zealand, a non-profit organization, has deployed a five volunteer strong team to deliver a workshop and program on burn management and treatment in two hospitals in Vietnam.
Burn patients in the General Hospital of the central province of Quang Nam and Cho Ray Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City will receive treatment during this program.

Approximately 50 select patients will receive free treatment during the program.

It has delivered services and training to medical professionals in Vietnam since 1997.
