Operational Walk Ireland is an Irish-based charity whose mission is to perform hip and knee replacements for patients who would otherwise not have access to this life-changing surgery.

The first independent Operation Walk Ireland mission took place in May of this year when we sent a second team back to the same hospital in Hanoi. Over 4 days we performed 64 joint replacement surgeries with our vietnamese colleagues and developed the educational aspects of the mission. In March 2018, we will send a second Operation Walk Ireland mission back to Hanoi, Vietnam.
