Our Mission

The main objective of the Hoi An Foundation is to improve the health care in Viet Nam. We are the first health-oriented charity in the central province of Quang Nam, an area with a population of 1.4 million.

Our goal is to provide direct health care to the neediest subset of the population and to improve the existing health care system through training and capacity-building.

 

What's New...

We have recently begun collaborating with the World Health Organization and the Minister of Health in Ha Noi in a pilot project of our treatment model.  Our treatment model focuses on chronic disease management and is a milestone in implementing health care reform.  Read more about our excitng project in our projects page.

About Us

The Hoi An Foundation is a US based 501c3 started in 2003 by Josh Solomon, a physician from Denver, Colorado. The initial focus of the foundation was the children of the Hoi An Orphanage in Vietnam. Working closely with the Kianh Foundation, the Hoi An Foundation improved the health and general well being of the children and helped secure a productive future for them in the Vietnamese community.

In 2006 Josh moved to Viet Nam to continue his mission. Through interaction with other charitable organizations, he saw that the need for improved health care encompassed children and adults throughout the Quang Nam province. In 2007, the focus of the foundation changed from the orphanage to improving the health and well-being in the disabled and disadvantaged population in central Viet Nam. This involves multiple projects caring for disabled adults, disabled children, HIV infected children and adults with chronic diseases, as well as continued education of local health care workers. We no longer have any affiliations with the Hoi An Orphanage.

The Foundation has made much progress in receiving help from great volunteers in the medical field. We are now staffed with a full time nurse in Hoi An and visiting doctors from around the world. This has given Josh the opportunity to manage the foundation from the US, while patients in Viet Nam receive an international standard of care.
