Accordingly, about 50 patients will be receiving checkups, with the surgeons expecting to provide surgery for 30 patients.


The programme is designed to support patients with scarring to the head, face, and neck areas after injury and children with congenital anomalies.

It is the 14th time that the US delegation has come to Vietnam to perform surgery and transfer surgical techniques to Vietnamese doctors at the NOH.

The programme will run through until November 10.
