Provide anesthesia for pediatric surgeries in central Vietnam. These surgeries will benefit a population with little to no access to medical surgical due to living in remote areas.
Children living in remote areas of central Vietnam. These patients have limited access to surgical services.
We hope to first alleviate the current need for these surgeries and second: provide health education and to the available staff.
The mission focused on procedures benefitting patients who lived hours, even days away from the closest hospital, and were unable to afford the copayment to have the procedures. We mainly performed plastic surgeries along with clefts palates and lips. The majority of our patients were pediatric.
As part of the mission outreach, we visited an orphanage and donated some necessary goods such as school supplies, toys and clothing. Even a little goes a long way.
