The humanitarian program Operation Healthy Heart, initiated by Viettel and the Vietnamese Loving Heart Fund of Vietnam Television, has been supporting Vietnamese children for 17 years. Over this journey, it has funded nearly 7,600 life-saving surgeries, provided screening for close to 190,000 children nationwide, and raised more than 250 billion VND, opening new paths to life for thousands of young patients.

The Vice Chairwoman of the National Assembly emphasized that over the past 17 years, countless “miracles” have been made possible thanks to contributions from the community. She also expressed her deep appreciation for the role of VTV, which has spread compassion through its media strength, for Viettel, a corporation that has shown dedication and social responsibility from the very first days, and for the doctors, benefactors, businesses, and all kind-hearted people at home and abroad who have quietly continued the journey of the program.
As the program enters its 18th year, Operation Healthy Heart marks a new milestone by expanding support to additional medical conditions, raising the eligible age limit, and increasing financial assistance, with the aspiration to heal even more young hearts across Vietnam. The Gala, therefore, serves as an opportunity to review the journey of 2025 and introduce important updates to the program to audiences nationwide, while also calling on the community to continue spreading its humanitarian values and actively connecting and referring children in need so that the fund can reach more vulnerable hearts longing for life and hope.
The Gala delivered many meaningful moments by interweaving emotional musical performances with touching reports and heartfelt interactions. With the theme “Heartbeat in Harmony”, featuring three emotional segments: The Miracle Sounds, Melody of Love, and A Radiant Finale Song, it creates a complete emotional journey that celebrates compassion, connection, and renewal.

Each healed heart is a reborn note in life’s symphony. When heartbeats rise together on the frequency of love, they create a melody of happiness that spreads everywhere.
