Bach Mai Hospital is a multi-field medical facility in Hanoi and is considered one of the largest in Vietnam.
A special rehabilitation unit was opened in 1998 for treating adults and children with disabling conditions (stroke and cerebral palsy).
The unit sponsored by Veterans for America has seen more than 1,700 patients and has fitted more than 2,100 plastic braces since its establishment.
In 2000, Bach Mai Hospital was partly reconstructed and supplied with up-to-date facilities and equipment under a grant aid project of the Government of Japan.
