The story of a Vietnamese girl whose life was transformed by coming to Taiwan for surgery, has been made into a short documentary film. The film aims to seek support for Taiwan’s inclusion in international health activities like the World Health Assembly.
The documentary film is called A Perfect Pair, telling the story of Loan, a Vietnamese girl with congenital lower limb lymphedema. The condition causes one of her legs to swell considerably and also causes deformity in certain organs, leading to severe, life-threatening dysfunctions.
Donations from a Taiwanese business operating in Vietnam made it possible for Loan to travel to Taiwan to undergo life-saving surgery. The film shows Loan’s new life together with her family. [FULL STORY]
