Civilian Health and War-Related Casualty Program in Vietnam

Abstract

Since 1965 the General Accounting Office (GAO) has issued several reports to the Subcommittee on civilian problems arising as a result of the conflict in South Vietnam. In April 1970 the Chairman requested that GAO update the prior reports on Vietnam and conduct a similar review in Laos.(See app. I.) The Subcommittee also wanted to know the effect of Vietnamization and what it means to war-related casualties. This report deals with the civilian health and war-related casualty program in Vietnam. Another will be issued on the refugee and social welfare program in Vietnam. In addition, four reports on Laos have been or soon will be issued. To try to meet the reporting date requested by the Subcommittee's General Counsel, GAO in its fieldwork on this assignment did not include a complete review of all aspects of the program covered in prior reports. This report was discussed with the Agency for International Development(AID) in Washington and Vietnam but AID did not comment formally on it.
