AES-VCM Invests in Health Care Programs Supporting Communities Where We Operate

 

Mr. David Stone, AES-VCM Managing Director said one of the core operation principles of our company is to maximize the economic and social benefits associated with the development of Mong Duong 2 BOT Power Plant.

 

The total value of this health care program is more than VND400 million where more than 400 local people of Mong Duong ward, Cong Hoa and Cam Hai communes received an intensive training on first aid skills and provided with a family first aid kits. As Mr. Kevin Pierce, the Mong Duong 2 Power Plant Manager emphasized in one of the events that value of the program is not limited to what we provided at the training but it goes further as people take the skill and knowledge home to share with their family, friends and neighbors to raise the awareness of community health care.

 

 

Since the construction of Mong Duong 2 Power Plant in late 2010, AES-VCM has continuously brought in opportunities to local communities by providing employment, creating a demand for services and materials which helps the local economy, and improves resident’s quality of life via several community development initiatives that focus on Health, Education, Economic Development and Environment. Around VND7 billion was invested in improving quality of life by building sustainable local capacity with a strategic focus on the project area of Mong Duong ward, Cong Hoa and Cam Hai communes of Cam Pha city (Quang Ninh Province) with over 20,000 local resident.

 

The First Aid Training program received strong support and appreciation from local authorities of Mong Duong, Cong Hoa and Cam Hai as well as the local communities here. Various sponsorship from AES-CVM have enabled local people receiving quality health care services from the local health staff.
