Doctors from the Vietnam-Cuba friendship hospital have coordinated with the US’s Operation Smile to provide surgery for 82 children with harelip and cleft palate from the northern provinces of Bac Giang, Nam Dinh and Tuyen Quang in the past two weeks.
With Operation Smile’s funding, the doctors will perform surgery for another 120 children with facial deformities in the central province of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Quang Binh and Ha Tinh between August 9-14, bringing the total beneficiaries to over 300 this year.
The Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Hospital has conducted free surgery on 8,696 children with funding from Operation Smile and other humanitarian organisations since 1994.
Doctors from the hospital have also visited Laos annually to perform surgery on children with harelip and cleft palate under a cooperation pact between Hanoi and Vientiane.
