About Facing the World

Facing the World (FTW) is a children’s medical Charitable Foundation providing life-changing craniofacial surgery to some of the world’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children, with efforts being focused on Vietnam where the incidence of severe birth defects is estimated by some, to be ten times higher than in neighbouring countries. Facing the World works in partnership with Vietnamese institutions to develop medical skills and approached in regional centres.

FTW runs a year-round Fellowship programme for Vietnamese medical professionals to partake in observational training at leading institutions in the UK.

Facing the World also runs medical Missions to Vietnam every year. These are a mix of multidisciplinary and specialist surgical missions with a team of doctors from UK hospitals working with doctors from the charity’s partner hospitals in Vietnam. This works in conjunction with the Fellowship programme.
