This is our 20th mission together with OST, and brings the grand total surgeries funded to over 1,750! Our team will not be traveling to the hospital this time, in order to minimize any Covid-19 related risks.
The OST medical missions have been postponed until the situation improves, in order to protect patients, volunteers, and the local populations in the rural locations the missions take place. We will update you as soon as new dates are decided. Stay safe!

138 children born with cleft lip and/or palate got their life-changing surgery at Pyin Oo Lwin Hospital in Myanmar in May 2018. The surgeries were conducted by Operation Smile Thailand’s (OST) medical volunteers and funded by Kids Action for Kids and other OST sponsors.
May 6th we will once again head to Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar with Operation Smile Thailand for another round of surgeries. We are happy to be back in Pyin Oo Lwin, as we know there is plenty of work to be done, and we are always excited at the opportunity of giving a chance to those who need it most.
We want to take a moment to reflect on last year’s achievement of 185 surgeries; 85 in Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar, and 100 in Chonburi, Thailand).
