PRESS RELEASE

INAUGURATION OF THE SECOND TRANSIT HOUSE IN QUANG NAM

[Quang Nam, 30 November 2022] the Action to the Community Development Institute (ACDC), in collaboration with the Project Management Board "Raising voices, creating opportunities, phase II'' in Quang Nam province, organised the inauguration ceremony of the second transit house in the region. The activity is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The transit house was built on the campus of Tien Phuoc District Medical Center. This is the second project in the province after the transit house at Thang Binh district health centre and the fifth transit house in the country. The transit house was surveyed, came up with the idea of construction in April 2022, and began construction in August 2022. The survey, assessment, selection, construction, and completion of the transit house model were carried out through consultations and exchanges of ideas with specialised agencies of independent experts. The highest goal is to ensure that the transit house meets the full health and construction technical requirements, providing the greatest and most effective access to patients. 

The transit house model has been built and applied in many developed countries around the world. This is a model that allows patients and persons with disabilities to practice daily living functions before returning to their families and communities, to reinclude independently. Activities performed in the transit house focus on mastering basic living functions that have previously been rehabilitated such as movement, self-dressing, eating, cooking, personal hygiene, and other community engagement activities. The transfer house includes 5 areas: a common movement area, kitchen and dining, toilet, bedroom and area for daily activities such as living room, recreation and training. The building is also equipped with small items for patients to take care of themselves and practice daily activities such as kitchen utensils (tableware, toiletries, fabrics), equipment to support movement (wheelchairs), and navigation devices (shower seats).

Ms Nguyen Thi Lan Anh, Director of ACDC Institute, said: “The transit house has been applied by us first in Thua Thien Hue province since 2019 and has brought positive effects. In Quang Nam, this is the second model of transit house built in the province, after the transit house at Thang Binh District Medical Center was inaugurated in June 2020. We hope that the model will effectively support patients and persons with disabilities in rehabilitation. At the same time, this will also be a model for persons with disabilities or their families to refer to and study to change the living environment more suitable for persons with disabilities."
