This year’s first four humanitarian operations cost US$48,000 funded by Sunny Korea, the Vietnam Children’s Fund said.

Sunny Korea is scheduled to provide heart surgery for eight more Vietnamese children in August and November of this year.

The non-governmental organisation operating in health and education has provided surgery at a total cost of about US$1.1 million for 110 Vietnamese children born with heart disease since 2002 through the Vietnam Children’s Fund.
