American Oil and Gas giant Exxon Mobil has funded Operation Smile Vietnam with US$75,000 to provide free surgeries for 300 congenital harelip and cleft palate children across the country.
Exxon Mobil Director General Greg Smith said his company wants to engage in community-based projects which have long-term positive impacts on individual's life as Operation Smile Vietnam are pursuing.
For every 700 Vietnamese children born, there is one child with harelip and cleft palate or maxillofacial deformities. In addition to enduring physical defects,these disabled children have to face difficulties in daily activities such as mental pains and social stigma.
Only approximately VND 5,000,000 and a 45 minutes/surgery will help bring them a brighter life.
After 25 years of operations in Vietnam, Operation Smile Vietnam has conducted 30,000 free surgeries and treatment for children with facial deformities.
Operation Smile Vietnam is expected to carry out the biggest ever humanitarian assistance programme in the health sector’s history in order to mark this event.
