Did you know that neonatal mortality accounted for three quarters of all infant deaths in Vietnam?

This March, ‘Team Benoy’ are taking part in Cycle a Difference to help improve this statistic.

The Cycle a Difference – ‘Asian Business Ride’ -  is a fully supported event in remote northwest Vietnam. All funds raised will go to supporting neonatal nurse training and medical education programmes in the region. Newborns Vietnam works in partnership with Da Nang Hospital for Women & Children, Vietnam’s National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi and district and provincial hospitals that serve large rural populations in central Vietnam.

 As a team, we are asking for the support of our wider networks to help raise further funds for this great cause.
