Hanoi to have new rehabilitation center for children with disabilities
The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs began the construction of Thuy An functional rehabilitation center for children with disabilities in Hanoi’s outlying district of Ba Vi on January 6.
The center, scheduled for completion in June 2018 at the cost of VND 80 billion (USD 3.47 million), will accommodate a care facility for children with autism, a vocational training area, a health check-up and functional rehabilitation area, and a dining hall.

Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Trong Dam said the multi-functional center will serve as a hospital, a school, a rehabilitation and vocational training facility.
In the next five years, it is expected to become a model center in the north.
Established in July 27, 1976, the center has offered care to people with disabilities, children living in need, the elderly, and ex-revolutionaries.
It has treated more than 2,000 living with disabilities and offered health check-ups to over 10,000 people.
