Only approximately VND 5,000,000 and a 45 minutes/surgery will help bring them a brighter life.
After 25 years of operations in Vietnam, Operation Smile Vietnam has conducted 30,000 free surgeries and treatment for children with facial deformities.
Operation Smile Vietnam is expected to carry out the biggest ever humanitarian assistance programme in the health sector’s history in order to mark this event.
