The initiative was organised by a heart expert group from the US, the Gift of Life organisation and MD1 World, also aiming to exchange knowledge in pediatric cardiology with Vietnamese doctors.
On the occasion, the group and doctors from the Hanoi Heart Hospital delivered surgical evaluations and treatments to disadvantaged children currently receiving heart treatment at the hospital.
