PANO - Crewmembers of the Japanese landing ship Kunisaki on June 15th cut the ribbon to inaugurate the upgraded infirmary in Hoa Quy ward, Ngu Hanh Son district, central city of Da Nang as part of its Pacific Partnership Program in 2014.

The inaugural ceremony

Hoa Quy ward with 15,000 inhabitants is facing a lot of difficulties in developing economy and health sector. The assistance of the foreign crewmembers is of great significance to improve quality of healthcare and treatment for local people.

Within a week, the ship’s members had helped repaired the infirmary’s roof, electricity and fresh water system and re-painted the infirmary.

The Pacific Partnership Program plans to send its sappers to improve the whole 200sq.m infirmary late this August at the cost of nearly US $70,000.
