Thesis

Cancer has been a very serious problem in Vietnam since 1990. Nowadays, cancer occupies about 12% mortality of Vietnam. Also, cancer has been spreading throughout the whole country rather than big cities. Vietnam is a poor country. Hospital infrastructure has been lacking while population of patients are increasing rapidly. There are not enough hospitals and transportation in Vietnam is very horrible.

My long term resolution is to develop cancer hospital system which composites of three types of hospital differentiated on sizes and functions: the central hospitals, the hospitals , and the clinics. The central hospitals will be doing not only treatment but also researches, affiliations with universities, and international business. The hospitals will be doing the treatment and some of the researches. The clinic will spread out information, diagnose and find out at the early stages of cancer. The system will be built so that traveling becomes easier for the patients.

My short term resolution focuses in a central hospital where a hospice is added to make the patients feel like home. A hospice will help patients enjoy their last days. It also gives new patients inspiration, faith and hope to courageously face the deadly disease.
