Bring joy to Nghe An poor people

People often call the portable ophthalmic car of Central Eye Hospital with a very lovely name: "The car carrying light and hope". And after many days "in quiet place" because of the Covid – 19 disease, today, the car carrying full of the magic light has officially rolled, making a meaningful journey to Nghe An poor people.

Rich in eyes, hard in hands

Ms. Nguyen Thi Chung (74 years old) in Nghi Xa commune (Nghi Loc district, Nghe An) lived many years in the darkness because of cataract disease which made her eyes almost blind. To restore light to the eyes, the only method is surgery to replace the lens. However, the salary did not exist, the difficult life depended only on the meager earnings from chickens, fishponds ... causing her to accept such a life day by day.

Luck smiled to her when in the middle of today, she had free surgery on a mobile operating vehicle of Central Eye Hospital. The 30-minute operation helped her to see everything for the first time clearly. The "incomparable feeling" is what Ms. Chung and other cataract patients in Nghe An have to say when their eyes are "lightened again".

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Quan (Nghia Loc district, Nghe An) was brought

to have free eye surgery

Having free eye surgery, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Quan (71 years old, Nghia Loc district, Nghe An) happily shared: “One eye has been completely blind for 5 years. There was one eye that looked hazy. I am very happy and looking forward to the removal of the tape. I will read the newspaper, I will hang out with them, will see the beautiful countryside. I feel like life opens a new page ”

On this light journey, Central Eye Hospital with the support and support of Thien Tam Foundation is expected to conduct free surgeries for 900 poor people (mainly parishioners) of Three districts: Nghi Loc, Do Luong and Quynh Luu. This is the second time the charitable ride full of light to Sen village, to the beloved Uncle Ho.

Journey 2020: Light up for 7,500 patients’ eyes

This is not an easy goal because this year has been halfway through the year and the program has been suspended for many months due to the effects of the Covid epidemic. , Thien Tam Fund has been cooperating with many specialized eye hospitals such as Hanoi Eye Hospital and provincial general hospitals. The ultimate goal is to fulfill the mission of lighting thousands of eyes for poor people in all parts of the country and contributing to reducing the rate of blindness in the community.
