Welcome to the 7th annual Vietnam Pharmacy/Medical Mission. This journey began in 2012 and has continued each year with the gracious and generous support from Temple University School of Pharmacy, Dean Peter Doukas, Faculty and Administration. Each year I am accompanied by TUSP Doctor of Pharmacy Candidates, who get to experience, first-hand, global healthcare and provide their energy helping to assist the needy.

29 hours in transit
Our journey began at 5:00 am in Philadelphia where we loaded our luggage, drove to the bus station and boarded our transportation to JFK International Airport. The first leg of our trip was 16.5 hours to Taipei, Taiwan. Followed by a 4 hour flight to Saigon. After arrival we were greeted by our gracious host to assist us through customs. Followed by our tour company owner to transport us to our hotel.
All in All, the time spent traveling was smooth. Other than being tired and dirty, we have successfully arrived in Vietnam.
