The CRCF conducted congenital heart disease screenings in Afghanistan last month, and took 21 children to Urumqi, capital city of northwestern China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for medical treatment.
The surgeries were performed by doctors from hospitals in Shanghai, Beijing and Xinjiang, according to the CRCF. As of now, 17 children have been discharged from hospital and returned to Afghanistan, and another four have had their operations and are expected to leave the hospital in a week.
