Comment posted for Dr Asbell per her request:
ReplyDeleteHello and congratulations to the American Eye Center, the Hawaiian Eye Foundation and Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital for a terrific meeting and a wonderful opportunity to make new friends among ophthalmologists and other health care professionals in Vietnam.
This was my first visit to Vietnam and I was impressed with the generosity of the doctors and staff and their dedication to education and excellence in patient care. I look forward to my next visit and hope we will stay in touch.
Warm regards, Penny Asbell
