A broken needle on a dirty floor; a bloody handprint on a white wall; open surgery without gloves - daily scenes in the Viet Duc ICU in Hanoi, Vietnam. Early in the afternoon a six-year-old boy dies needlessly of snakebite. A readily available antidote, costing five U.S. dollars - the price of a deluxe coffee at Starbucks - could have prevented his death. But his family does not have enough money to pay for it.

As a result of numerous years of volunteer work, American Veteran Dr. Dan Berliner has initiated an Emergency Health Care program to help prevent unnecessary deaths such as this one. Dr. Berliner and several non-profit organizations used my photographs of Vietnamese hospitals to bring awareness and induce overseas funding to improve the health care infrastructure in Vietnam.
