Providing treatment opportunities for underprivileged children.

As part of its annual international cooperation program, Da Nang Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital recently welcomed a delegation of medical experts from Italy, representing the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIP).

During their stay in Da Nang, the Italian expert team, in collaboration with doctors from the Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, conducted screening and in-depth consultations for 50 children with urinary and genital malformations; they also performed reconstructive surgery on 18 cases, helping the children integrate into the community and have a complete childhood.

Thanks to this ‘hands-on’ model, the hospital’s medical team had the opportunity to access advanced techniques, thereby improving their professional capabilities and increasing their proactive approach in treating complex cases,” added Dr. Tran Dinh Vinh.

Besides surgical activities, the two sides also discussed future cooperation directions. Many important plans were proposed, including strengthening specialized training programs in Italy, expanding the range of transferable techniques, and implementing annual humanitarian medical examinations and surgeries; providing better treatment opportunities for disadvantaged children in the Central and Central Highlands regions.

With clear development directions and the results achieved in the collaborative program, the Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital continues to aim to become the leading specialized unit in the Central region in the field of genitourinary malformation surgery.
