Relatives of children register for examination of lip and palate deformities.

The program will be implemented from October 27 to October 31, 2023 at Buon Ma Thuot University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital with main activities such as: examining about 300 children aged at least 5 months across the province; 100 children will receive free orthopedic surgery with total surgery costs of 7-8 million VND/case and will be supported with travel and accommodation expenses during the surgery and treatment at the hospital. The estimated value of the entire program is about 800 million VND.

In addition to supporting free examination and surgery for children, the Provincial Children's Fund has mobilized units to accompany the Fund to support lunches and gifts for all children coming for examination and surgery during this period.

Representatives of the units gave gifts to children participating in examination and surgery for lip and palate deformities during this period.

It is known that this is the 17th year that the Provincial Children's Fund has cooperated with Operation Smile and the first year that it has cooperated with Buon Ma Thuot University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital to examine and perform surgery for children in the province, to help them have orthopedic surgery, restore their smiles, and bring them a bright future.
