American Academy of Pediatrics
Thanh Hoa Hospital in Vietnam serves the Thanh Hoa province, which has one of the highest incidences of cleft lip and palate in the country. The hospital was in need of assistance to attend to the cleft lip and palate patients. This was accomplished through a Smile Train Treatment Grant. The grant provided physicians at Thanh Hoa General Hospital with the modern surgical instruments necessary to perform cleft lip and palate operations.

Hai Phong Children's Hospital
The Smile Train's Education & Training Grant supported Dr. William G. Williams' training trip to Hai Phong Children's Hospital in Vietnam, where he trained local doctors in the latest cleft surgical techniques and provided surgical instruments that local doctors currently lack. Dr. Williams is a staff surgeon at Shriners Burn Hospital for Children in Galveston, and an Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas.

Hanoi Plastic Surgery Center
Hanoi Plastic Surgery Center, located in Hanoi, Vietnam, has been involved in cleft care since 1990. They provide free surgery for poor children in 24 provinces in northern Vietnam as well as in adjacent countries. They also send their local doctors to remote locations in order to treat an average of 100-150 children who are suffering with cleft lip and/or palate but who are unable to reach their facilities. Financial support from The Smile Train helps to provide the Hanoi Plastic Surgery Center with the proper equipment and materials needed for the surgeries, free meals and hospital stay for patients, and team transportation. Dr. Hoang Quoc Ky directs this team of doctors.
