Speaking at the opening ceremony, Associate Professor, Doctor, Doctor Lam Hoai Phuong, Director of My Thien Hospital said: “For the past 36 years, we have always accompanied Operation Smile on the journey to bring smiles to unfortunate children. That is a testament to the perseverance and the hearts of countless doctors, volunteers and benefactors who have constantly strived for complete smiles. We want to send a message: the medical industry, the team of doctors and sponsors always aspire to bring happiness and a bright future to children."

The program also pays special attention to cases in remote areas, where children are in very difficult circumstances and have little access to medical services. That is also the reason why each successful surgery is not only a joy for the patient's family, but also a motivation for us to continue this journey.

This time, the program received 120 patients for examination and preparation for surgery.
