The patients, including policy beneficiaries and needy people, received free operations and joints, worth VND70 million each.


This is the 4th time Operation Walk cooperated with the Central Military Hospital 108 in joint replacement. The organization offers artificial joints and exercises to recover the functions for the joints after operations, reducing the hospital stay for patients.
