Charity organization Operation Smile Vietnam (OSV) will provide free medical check-up and surgeries for about 100 Vietnamese children and adolescents this month.

The patients, born with cleft lips and palate deformities, are mainly from southern provinces including Bac Lieu and Soc Trang. They will undergo the operations from September 21-25, according to OSV.

OSV said it will partner with the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology and My Thien Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City to implement the mission.

The mission to cost some US$15,000 will be sponsored by Away Vietnam, a US-based company.

Since 1989, OSV has provided free surgeries to over 13,000 children born with cleft lips and cleft palates in Vietnam.
