Since November 21, Hospital 1A has cooperated with Children Action to provide free examinations and surgeries for children with limb deformities.

The children in this free examination and surgery session are between 2 and 16 years old. They were born with deformities such as clubfoot, muscle atrophy, muscle defects, scoliosis, etc. They all have difficulty walking and grasping things, and many even have to use wheelchairs.

Through this program, every year hundreds of children receive free surgery from Hospital 1A and international organizations, opening up a better future for them.

Mr. Thai Chau Ve, the grandfather of Nguyen Thai An (2 years old) living in Cu Chi district (HCMC) shared: “I am An's grandfather and I feel very happy and pleased to know about this program. An was born during the Covid-19 epidemic in 2021. Since birth, he has had his fingers on both hands. His family has never taken him to any hospital for examination or treatment. Today, we are so happy to know about this program and An has been admitted to the hospital for finger separation surgery.”

Baby Nguyen Thai An's grandfather took him to the hospital for surgery.

Like An's grandfather, dozens of parents whose children had surgery this time were touched and happy.

It is known that this is a series of free medical examination and treatment activities of Hospital 1A in collaboration with international organizations, with the desire to share the responsibility of caring for disadvantaged people in society, bringing everyone a brighter future. Coming to the hospital, patients are examined, screened, and prescribed free surgery by dedicated, experienced specialists.

Many families were moved when their children received free surgery.
