For seven years, Chinese hand surgery experts have offered free clinics to children with hand and foot deformities in Chamdo, Xizang. These deformities severely impact children's lives, and the surgeries needed are complex.
The "Beijing Hou'ai Joint Health Foundation" organized missions with experts, restoring function and appearance for many children. The Beijing Municipal Health Commission joined, providing free surgeries with a 100% success rate. Improvements include better academics and social integration.
A "Hand and Foot Deformity Diagnosis and Treatment Center" was established in Lhasa to treat existing cases and prevent future ones. It focuses on training local professionals and advancing medical disciplines.
The Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology is evaluating the project, emphasizing its importance for children's health and development, and praising Beijing's assistance. The project is expected to have lasting positive effects.
