The program ran from July 8th to July 12th. 160 children were examined, of which 120 were scheduled for surgery. Those who were not selected for surgery this time received financial assistance for transportation.

In addition to free surgery, the children also receive financial support for food and transportation. Even after six months post-surgery, they continue to receive support for travel expenses.
