More than 100 children in the central province of Nghe An are being offered free-of-charge cleft lip and palate jaw surgeries.
They are children born with facial abnormalities from poor families.
Experts from many hospitals, including the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology, 108 Military Central Hospital, Vietnam-Cu Ba Hospital and Bac Ha International Hospital, are joining the programme.
Moong Thi Hoang, 34, from the mountainous district of Ky Son, said that it was lucky for her seven-month-old son to be provided with the free operation.
In September, 108 Military Central Hospital and Operations Smile also provided free surgery for dozens of children with facial and skull deformities in Vietnam.
