Hospitals across Ho Chi Minh City are struggling to treat COVID-19 patients due to a severe shortage of equipment.
To tackle with the urgent situation in the hospital and try to help lower the mortality rate due to lack of equipment, Rotary Club Saigon International will raise funds to join forces with Rotary International and purchase 100 oxygen concentrators to support the field hospitals in Vietnam.

Rotary Club Saigon International was chartered in June 2021. The club was founded by a group of international and Vietnamese entrepreneurs, businesspeople and NGO workers. The club is currently about 20 strong and recruiting new members with an aim to build to 50 or so by the end of 2021.
RCSI was chartered just as the current spike in Covid cases began in Vietnam and so far we have already completed 2 projects in the community supporting vulnerable people hit hard by the effects of strict lockdown and the disabled community with the distribution of almost 400 wheelchairs.
Also Chartered in June 2021 was Rotary Club Saigon. We are working together on this project and others as well as with Rotary Clubs in our supporting districts in Thailand and China.
