Abstract

From 2001 year, our department has been participated medical charity for cleft lip and palate patients with Japanese team, on general hospital of Quang Nam Province in Tamky, Vietnam. Also we started medical service with student volunteer in Hue University Hospital, sisterhood relationship with Chonbuk National University, from 2006. The central area of Vietnam is a hard fought-field during the Vietnam war, many chemical weapons (defoliant etc.) were used during war. As the mountain region lose currency, this area was still retarded. We would like to introduce the medical charity service of our department and the classification of operated patients and performed operation.
