Baby H'Lanh is now 8 years old and the deformity of scoliosis has followed her since birth. Baby Hlanh's defects at birth were not obvious enough to be easily seen with the naked eye, but after 1 year or 2 years, the birth defects became more and more obvious.
Little H'Lanh's family lives in a remote area. It takes all day to get to the local hospital, but they still manage to take their child to the doctor. H Lanh's scoliosis is a birth defect and will gradually get worse. To treat family illness, the family need to be patient and have a certain budget. For the H'Lanh family, it is the living budget for the whole year.
The family belongs to a poor household in the village. Although they were given land to grow rice, it was only food for the family to eat. H'Lanh's mother said that sometimes she only earned 500,000 VND a month. Family meals are usually vegetables and occasionally include meat, fish, and eggs.
Last April, upon hearing that there was a free volunteer examination program, H'Lanh's mother took her child to the examination with the hope that she would be treated. Through that, baby H'Lanh was connected for examination and treatment at the rehabilitation hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.
In June 2023, the baby wore a spinal brace for the first time. After 3 months, the mother shared that the baby got a little better and got used to the brace. Every 3 months, H'Lanh HMok needs to be periodically monitored and an appropriate brace made. Hopefully, with some initial progress, H'Lanh H'Mok's treatment will be better so that she can develop her body normally.

Feb 28, 2017 - 08:07 pmBaby H'Lanh and her mother went to HCMC for the first time to examine scoliosis. The baby's disease is a birth defect and the curvature is severe, with a curvature of 70 degrees. The safest way to treat it is to wear a scoliosis brace until adulthood. The brace will help shape the spine and prevent curvature. As for the surgical method, according to the doctor, surgery will prevent bone growth, so this method cannot be performed on a developing child. In addition, surgery will likely cause complications such as lower body paralysis.
