As its contribution to the National Action Month for Children 2013, some nurses and doctors from Da Nang’s Fortis Hoan My Hospital are coordinating with The Fund for Sponsoring Children in Quang Ngai Province to give free medical examinations, medicines and gifts to the province’s children, mainly those from poor districts. They are examining eyes, teeth, hearts, and congenital limb defects over the 4 - 8 June period at a total cost of around 80 million VND.
