Volunteer doctors from the Republic of Korea (RoK) and their Vietnamese colleagues have finished 190 smile operations for children with hare lips and cleft palates in central Phu Yen province.
Doctors from the Central Military Hospital 108 and the provincial General Hospital took part in the programme from July 2-7.
SK Telecom and the RoK’s Smile for Children provided equipment and funded the surgeries.
This is the 15th consecutive year deformed Vietnamese children have received free smile operations from the RoK’s volunteer doctors. So far, nearly 3,000 children in many localities nationwide have benefited from the programme.
In 2009, the programme was also carried out in the central province of Thanh Hoa. It has also helped to raise the professional skills of Vietnamese doctors.
