On 28 March 2012, Lien AID and Bach Mai Hospital organised a handover ceremony to commemorate the successful completion of its project aimed at providing treated clean water for use in treating patients at the dialysis centre and other departments of the Hospital. Bach Mai Hospital in Vietnam is one of the three specialised medical centres in the country, providing kidney dialysis treatment for 7,500 patients each year. This collaborative project centres on improving the efficiency of the RO membrane filtration system for the hospital's dialysis centre. Several multi-media water treatment units have also been installed to improve the water quality for other departments in the hospital.

Lien Aid was set up in 2006 through the Lien Foundation - Nanyang Technological University Environmental Endeavour. The Environmental Endeavour (or EE), established within the Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (NEWRI), is a partnership between the Lien Foundation and Nanyang Technological University to advance the provision of clean water and sanitation for the benefit of communities in Asia not yet adequately empowered with sustainable solutions that improve health, alleviate economic stagnation, and mitigate environmental degradation.
