On November 23 First Lady Vivian de Torrijos went to Hospital Aquilino Tejeira in Penonome to visit this little girl, who was about to undergo surgery funded by the Fundacion Operacion Sonrisa (Operation Smile Foundation). The charity provides medical attention to children born with harelips or cleft palates, as the surgica procedures to correct those conditions are considered cosmetic and generally not covered by our public health care system.
