On April 21, the 2019 annual "Happy Smile" Cleft Lip and Palate Children's Surgical Rehabilitation Project was jointly launched by the Qinghai Provincial Social Work Association and the Qinghai Provincial Welfare Charity Hospital, supported by the Hong Kong Cornerstone Association.

On April 21, 16 medical experts from the Hong Kong Association arrived at the Provincial Welfare Charity Hospital and proceeded with pre-surgery screening.

This year this free surgical aid will last until April 27th. The 16 medical experts from Hong Kong Corner Stone Association and the local medical team from the Provincial Welfare Charity Hospital will do the surgery. It is expected that 25 to 30 children will be helped.

According to the project plan, two rounds of surgical treatment for children with cleft lip and palate will be carried out in 2019. The second phase of the rescue activity will be carried out in August this year.
