Operation Smile Vietnam and the Hue Odonto-Maxillo-Facial Hospital will provide free surgery for children with cleft lips and palates next month with financial assistance from the Asia – Pacific Securities JSC.
Following tests on May 9, the kids will get surgery from May 10 to 13. Operation Smile Vietnam, a US NGO, says in its website that typically 100-150 children are surgically treated during each such campaign.
To get the surgery, children with cleft lips must be at least six months old and weigh more than 8kg, while in case of cleft palates they should be 18 months and 12kg.
