More than 270 people with deformities of the jaw, face, eyes and limbs in the Mekong Delta provinces of Vinh Long, Dong Thap and Ben Tre were offered free check-ups from June 22-28, with 130 already receiving free operations.
The free service has been supplied by volunteer doctors and nurses from the ‘Smile for Children’ Organization from the Republic of Korea funded by SK Telecom, Military Hospital 108 and Vinh Long’s General Hospital.
Together with the free operations, which cost $200-300 each, the patients also receive travel expenses of VND100,000 from SK Telecom and patients who are operated on are also presented with an VND800,000 gift each.
Patients from poor households are also supplied with free meals from Vinh Long province’s Association for the Support of Disabled and Orphans.
In 2010, the Smile for Children Organization and SK Telecom targeted patients in the central coastal province of Phu Yen and in 2009 they helped children in the central province of Thanh Hoa to regain their natural smiles.
