To date, over 1.6 million DET30™ masks have also been donated to governments, academic institutions, medical organizations and NGOs around the world (including mainland China, Vietnam, Australia, Kenya, Korea, Lebanon, Singapore, the Philippines and the US) replacing tens of millions of single-use masks.

Up to date, Operation Smile Vietnam has received 100,000 DETERMINANT masks and given most of them to governmental partners, hospitals, medical professionals, patients, volunteers, communities, etc. in our surgical missions and fund-raising events.

Through this donation, Esquel and DETERMINANT hope to join hands with Operation Smile to support the journey towards better health and dignity of those in need.
