About Us
Operation Walk Ireland has travelled to Hanoi, Vietnam, since 2016. Our 2023 trip to Hanoi was our fifth mission and our first since the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2016, when Operation Walk Ireland first travelled to Hospital 108, the hospital performed approximately 150-200 joint replacements per year.
Last year, 108 Hospital carried out approximately 1300 joint replacement surgeries.
In 108 Hospital Hanoi, joint replacement surgeries are considered to be a luxury for both patients and surgeons, and only patients with good life conditions can afford these surgeries.
The charity trip in November 2024 consisted of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Anaesthetists, medical doctors, scrub nurses, anaesthetic nurses, recovery nurses, ward nurses, physiotherapists, CSSD staff, administrators, general helpers and translators were all part of the travelling team.
The team represented forty-one medical organisations from all over Ireland to Saint Vincent’s Private Hospital in Melbourne.
Our Mission and Values
Operation Walk Ireland is dedicated to transforming lives through advanced orthopedic surgery. We prioritize patient care, surgical excellence, and ethical practices, ensuring access to quality hip and knee replacements for patients regardless of their background.
