Congenital birth defects such as cleft
lip, palate, hand hypoplasia, external 

00:00:07.581 --> 00:00:09.629 
hand foreign objects or maxillofacial hypoplasia 

00:00:09.629 --> 00:00:13.222 
not only affects aesthetics but also has
a major impact on 

00:00:13.222 --> 00:00:14.529 
children's activities and development. 

00:00:15.129 --> 00:00:19.069 
These defects make many families worried
about the journey of treating their children. 

00:00:20.029 --> 00:00:23.604 
During the free screening and surgery
with foreign plastic surgery experts 

00:00:23.604 --> 00:00:25.229 
held at Hanoi Children's Hospital, 

00:00:25.669 --> 00:00:28.460 
many pediatric patients across the
country have had the opportunity to have 

00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:30.089 
surgery with plastic surgery experts from abroad, 

00:00:30.089 --> 00:00:32.729 
opening up hope for
improved function and appearance. 

00:00:33.229 --> 00:00:36.639 
After screening, this patient was
diagnosed with cleft lip and palate, and 

00:00:36.639 --> 00:00:38.629 
is currently undergoing surgery at the hospital. 

00:00:39.041 --> 00:00:43.201 
My house is completely exposed to cleft
lip and palate. 

00:00:43.861 --> 00:00:47.741 
Today he was operated on by a delegation
of experts from abroad and doctors in the hospital. 

00:00:47.741 --> 00:00:52.901 
then I feel very happy, lucky and very
grateful to the staff. 

00:00:53.101 --> 00:00:57.881 
I just hope that you will do your
best for me. 

00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:01.236 
Specialist Doctor Zone 2 Tran Dinh
Phuong, head of the Department of 

00:01:01.236 --> 00:01:03.220 
Plastic Surgery, Craniofacial Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery, said, 

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:07.200 
the program focuses on screening for
complex birth defects for children under 16 years old. 

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.860 
Through detailed assessment of each child's condition, 

00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:14.360 
Doctors have selected about 50 eligible
cases to plan surgery. 

00:01:15.153 --> 00:01:19.053 
The deformities that we brought children
for examination in this phase are mostly rare deformities. 

00:01:19.053 --> 00:01:24.289 
and it greatly affects health, eating,
speaking are the current functional 

00:01:24.289 --> 00:01:26.193 
signs the child encounters 

00:01:26.193 --> 00:01:30.533 
and it can risk affecting the psychology
as well as the motor and mental 

00:01:30.533 --> 00:01:32.393 
development of children in the future. 

00:01:32.873 --> 00:01:36.568 
When the baby arrived, the family was
quite worried, but when the baby 

00:01:36.568 --> 00:01:38.273 
completed the surgery and went home 

00:01:38.273 --> 00:01:43.313 
then we noticed that their smiles as
well as their eyes and 

00:01:43.313 --> 00:01:44.573 
faces became happier 

00:01:44.573 --> 00:01:46.773 
and the baby also became happier. 

00:01:47.253 --> 00:01:50.953 
Well, that's one of the achievements as
well as the result we get. 

00:01:50.953 --> 00:01:55.033 
is to bring us a lot of joy as well as
happiness in the process of practicing. 

00:01:56.571 --> 00:02:00.080 
Through exchanging the most optimal
surgical methods, we hope to perform 

00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:03.271 
more cases, helping to revive the
future for the children. 

00:02:03.811 --> 00:02:07.021 
This is an opportunity for me and other
doctors to learn together, thereby 

00:02:07.021 --> 00:02:10.231 
joining hands to bring a normal life to
children who unfortunately have disabilities. 

00:02:11.706 --> 00:02:16.058 
The surgery program is expected to last
until March 27, 2026, not only providing 

00:02:16.058 --> 00:02:19.166 
medical support, this is also a
journey to connect trust, 

00:02:19.586 --> 00:02:23.162 
helping disadvantaged children have the
opportunity to mend their defects and be 

00:02:23.162 --> 00:02:25.546 
more confident on the path of maturity ahead.
