Nearly 800 children were screened for congenital heart defects.

With the support of doctors from the National Children's Hospital and Ha Giang General Hospital, after two days of implementation (August 2-3), the congenital heart disease screening program screened nearly 800 children under 18 years old.

Dr. Nguyen Ly Thinh Truong, Director of the Cardiovascular Center at the National Children's Hospital, examines and interprets the results for the child.

The screening results revealed 22 cases of congenital heart defects in children. Of these, 10 cases required early intervention or surgery; the other 11 cases needed continued intensive monitoring. The total estimated cost for treatment support for these cases is 500 million VND.

The program not only contributes to the early detection of dangerous cardiovascular diseases in children, but also helps reduce the financial burden of treatment for disadvantaged families.
