Many times taking her daughter to cure all over the place, Ms. Ton Thi Bach Lan seemed to fall into despair.'I took my child to Singapore, and the doctor diagnosed my child almost broken two vertebrae, making me more desperate. The doctor said that for family surgery to spend up to $ 100,000, we had to go home in despair , "Lan said.

The journey to cure her daughter has not stopped. The family brought the girl back to the North in the hope that the country still slapped. Song, the doctor refused because when surgery, the skin of Phung difficult to heal because it can shrink like before, will easily cause polio complications.

While tired, Ms. Lan and her husband happened to read through the press. Assoc. Associate Professor Van Van Thanh is the leading expert in spine in our country, he is currently an advisor to the unit of Trung Vuong Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City). hoping to cure her daughter.
