Heading to Hanoi for the National Consultative Workshop!
ASEAN REGIONAL MINE ACTION CENTER

Our team is on the move and heading to Hanoi for the National Consultative Workshop on Physical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Needs for Explosive Ordnance (EO) Victims tomorrow. Before we depart to Hanoi, we’re wrapping up our visit to Thua Thien Hue Province, where we’ve been meeting with EO victims and engaging with local stakeholders to assess their rehabilitation needs and mental health support.
We had an insightful focus group discussion with EO victims, including inspiring survivors such as a national athlete and a professional singer. Their stories of strength and resilience are truly moving.
We also had the privilege of meeting a survivor at his home to learn more about his daily life and the challenges he faces as he works toward reintegration.
As we conclude this phase of our study, we’re looking forward to tomorrow’s National Consultative Workshop in Hanoi, where we’ll bring together experts, stakeholders, and government officials to discuss how we can further improve victim assistance efforts across ASEAN.
We are grateful for the support from VNMAC, VNASMA, and our key partners: SingHealth, Yonsei University, and especially for the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF) for walking alongside us on this journey. Together, we are strengthening victim assistance frameworks in Vietnam and the entire ASEAN region.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue this important work.
