Vietnamese to donate 100,000 crowns to Our Child foundation

(Czech News Agency Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)PRAGUE, Jan 24 (CTK) - The Association of the Vietnamese in the Czech Republic will on Thursday give 100,000 crowns to the Nase dite (Our Child) foundation within the public fund-rasing for the treatment of a seriously ill Vietnamese boy, Czech- Vietnamese Society head Marcel Winter told CTK today.



Vietnamese boy Do Anh Tai from Varnsdorf, north Bohemia, could not be properly insured after his birth last summer. His parents now owe 780,000 crowns to a hospital in Most, north Bohemia, for the boy's treatment.

Nase dite director Zuzana Baudysova said that 326,000 crowns, that is over 50 percent of the debt, have been collected so far and the fund-raising still continues.



Winter pointed out that the parents of the ill boy have been living in the the Czech Republic for nine years and they have another two sons.

"I believe that we will succeed in collecting the whole sum. Little Do is still fighting for his life and according to doctors, he has a 30-percent chance to survive," Winter said.

He stressed that parents should not be financially punished for the birth of a seriously ill baby.

Under the Czech insurance regulations, the Vietnamese couple could not insure the boy, who was born prematurely and whose health condition demanded an intensive care, after the birth, as the insurance contract should have been signed beforehand.

The boy was released from Prague's Teaching Hospital last week, but he must undergo regular medical checks-ups.

The ill boy got into the public health insurance system fraudulently last December, on the basis of a false statement by his father and his GP.

The health insurance company found it out, but decided to cover the costs of his treatment for ethical reasons as from December 1, 2005.

Along with Czech citizens, foreigners with a permanent residence permit in the Czech Republic or those whose employers cover their health insurance have the right to public health insurance. Other foreigners must sign a special contract on health insurance.

($1=23.297 crowns)
