'2024 Medical Charity Project' started on October 8, 2024.
Yeson Voice Center is treating diseases of children from underprivileged countries with low medical standards through the 'Medical Charity Project' hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and organized by the Korea Health Industry Development Institute.
What is the 'Medical Charity Project' for?
This is being implemented for the purpose of helping children regain their voices and give them a better life and new dreams, and this practice of sharing is also contributing greatly to making the excellence of Korean medicine known to the world.
The third patient of the '2024 Medical Charity Project', Klimenko Sofiya (5 years old), a Kazakh national, was treated. The laryngeal papilloma that the children suffer from is a benign tumor that looks like a wart, and is caused by papilloma (human papilloma virus (HPV)) infecting the cells around the larynx. Multiple papilloma mainly occurs in children, and if the recurrence is severe and widespread, it can cause respiratory distress.
Klimenko Sofiya was in a situation where she could not speak at all due to the worsening of her laryngeal papilloma.
During this sharing medical period, Yeson performed three laryngeal microsurgeries to remove the laryngeal papilloma on the vocal cords to prevent the worsening of the laryngeal papilloma. Yesong Voice Center promised continuous follow-up care, such as continuous monitoring of the patients' conditions through the coordinator in charge.
Since 2011, Yesong Voice Center has been providing free treatment to 27 overseas incurable children through the ‘Sharing Medical Service’, and the children who received treatment and returned to their home countries have been expressing their gratitude through photos and videos of their healthy appearance after surgery.
Director Kim Hyung-tae of Yeson Voice Center said, “It is heartbreaking to see children who have difficulty breathing due to relapses and failure to receive treatment in countries with low medical standards.” “It is truly rewarding to see children receiving surgery in Korea through Sharing Medical Service and smiling brightly with a healthy appearance. I hope to continue to give hope to more children.”
