The health check took place in the framework of "Care to Rise," which aims to provide health care and education for children who suffer difficulties due to Covid-19, children of poor families in Ho Chi Minh City.

The examination was carried out under strict and scientific supervision to ensure that children receive general examinations, eye, ear, nose, and throat tests, as well as maxillofacial, musculoskeletal, and psychological health assessments.
