Since the beginning of this year, 20 disadvantaged children in the central province of Quang Nam have received free heart surgeries worth VND20-60 million each.
The Quang Nam provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs plans to provide similar surgeries to 30 other needy children with financial support from the Children Support Fund.
Nguyen Thuy, deputy director of the Quang Nam provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said that most patients have recovered well from the surgeries.
He called for more assistance from agencies, organisations and individuals to ensure children born with heart deformities can have necessary operations.
The Quang Nam provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, in co-ordination with the Hue Central Hospital, have provided free heart surgeries to more than 200 disadvantaged children since 2008.
