Praising the non-governmental organisation (NGO) for its work in Vietnam over the past 25 years, Doan said it had contributed to the Vietnam–US relations and helped nearly 115,000 Vietnamese children with disabilities to lead normal lives.
Magee said as the first NGO to work in Vietnam, Operation Smile was committed in the long term to providing free medical services.
The organisation is working with the Ministry of Health to apply the Global Standard of Care in the country, and hopes for the government’s support in bringing more skilled voluntary surgeons to Vietnam, the guest said.-VNA
