ULAN BATOR, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- A total of 28 Mongolian children suffering from congenital heart disease departed Wednesday for Beijing, capital of China, to receive free surgeries.
They are the first group of all 47 Mongolian children who will receive free treatment in China this year, according to the Mongolian Red Cross Society.
Last month, cardiologists from Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Inner Mongolia People's Hospital arrived in Ulan Bator to conduct screening for congenital heart disease for children aged 1-14, and 47 children were selected to receive free heart surgeries in China.
The free treatment is part of the program "Angels Tour -- Belt and Road Humanitarian Rescue Mongolia Action for Children with Severe Diseases," a humanitarian aid program launched last year by the Chinese Red Cross Foundation(CRCF).
As planned, a total of 100 children with congenital heart disease will receive free surgeries in China. Last year, 53 young patients were treated in Chinese hospitals, with the CRCF covering all the necessary costs. Enditem
