Preserving that tradition, in 2023, the two units will continue to collaborate and organize plastic surgery programs for residents in the Central and Central Highlands regions, who register for medical examination at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital.

These are cases of congenital and acquired maxillofacial malformations, scar from trauma, burns, cleft lip and cleft palate, congenital malformations of limbs such as hands or feet deformities, paralysis of brachial plexus, peripheral nerve graft. In addition, people in need of cosmetic surgery such as breast, nose, eye, abdomen reconstruction or plastic surgery such as stretch marks, ulcer scars, soft tissue defects, etc., can register for this surgical program.

In addition to the surgical program, doctors from TranTien Foundation and the University Hospital participated in the continuing medical education (CME) program on plastic surgery as presenters.
