"This is the fourth time our team has offered free medical treatment in Qinghai, Guizhou, Yunnan and Tibet," said Yang Bin, director of the Third Cardiovascular Surgery Zone at the hospital.
 
"It will take three weeks for these children to complete their medical treatment. After that, another 40 children will receive the same treatment."
 
Yang said language has been a small barrier during the treatment so far; however, the children were strong and the treatment process was successful.
 
There is translation software in the ward, and they also use body language frequently, Yang said.
 
"There is still a big need for doctors and heart disease medicine in Tibet, which has a higher rate of heart disease," Yang said.
 
Bu Norbu, a 4-year-old Tibetan boy, received his surgery on Wednesday, and his father Shungmakyab was pleased.
 
"I found out my kid had congenital heart disease when he was 2. Whenever he got a cold, he had to be hospitalized for treatment," said Shungmakyab, who added that he had never dreamed of getting free medical treatment in Henan, and he said he and his son were lucky to get the help.
 
"We are fine here, only it is a bit hot. The food provided by the hospital is good," said Shungmakyab, adding that the hospital provided food according their customary diet.
