Clinic aids Vietnam children with reconstructive care
Nguyen Tan Hoang, 10, survived a booby-trap blast that scarred him and left him nearly blind. At the Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Saigon, run by Children’s Medical Relief International and funded by USAID, doctors from many nations repair wounds for civilians, many war victims. The hospital, three years old, has 50 beds with 120 recovering patients, and treats about 150 major operations monthly. Hoang’s eyesight and facial function have begun to return, offering rare hope in a country with scarce medical resources.
