Abstract
The example of Vietnam demonstrates the wide range of endoscopic capabilities in an underdeveloped country with emerging economic strength. Barriers to advancement in endoscopic techniques can be overcome through the donation of equipment and on-site, hands-on training. In a country where the endoscopists are experienced and skillful in basic techniques, significant advances in health care delivery can be achieved with relatively small investments in time and money. This process is naturally enormously gratifying for both the students and their mentors.
