Stanford Student Heads to Papua New Guinea to Work With Residents
VIVA Transcription, a leading provider in medical transcription services, announced today that it has established a scholarship to help foster Stanford University's International Medical Options program.
VIVA has donated directly to this cause in the past but this year their contribution will be in the form of a scholarship -- supporting a student to travel to Papua New Guinea where she will provide health education to local villages and medical training to local medics. The chosen student, Gloria Hoang, will leave for Papua New Guinea on June 21, 2008 for her educational, philanthropic adventure.
"As a medical transcription company interacting with physicians and medical professionals on a daily basis, VIVA is very aware of the lack of basic, and often crucially needed, medical care in this poor country," stated Manuel Prado, CEO of VIVA Transcription. "We created this scholarship to not only recognize an individual like Gloria, who is volunteering her time and expertise for this valuable program, but also to provide much needed medical assistance and education to the residents of this struggling country."
Stanford's International Medical Options project provides medical assistance to those in need in both Papua New Guinea and Vietnam -- nobody is ever turned away. In additional to providing medical aid, the team of volunteers also leads a training program for local medics and, in doing so, encourages these newly trained medics to pass their knowledge down to future generations.
