Vision in Viet Nam - 2018
Description
Hoa Binh City - 13 March, 2018: Mr Bui Van Dong, 18, the day after his eye operation during the post-operation revision at the consultation room of Dr Bui Cao Ngu, in the Social Disease Prevention Center of Hoa Binh City in Northern Vietnam, around 100km from Hanoi.
Mr. Bui Van Dong have a metallic object impacting his eye at his workspace and he did not see properly since then. He decided to have his eye operated. The operation was a success. He come from Kim Boi District.
At Hoa Binh Social Disease Prevention Center, located 2 hours driving from Hanoi, 800 to 1.000 patients have eye operations every year. The majority of patients in the area are between 60 to 80 years old, and just 7% of the patients are below the age of 60. Children patients usually have genetic/congenital disease, and they are treated to the National Hospital in Hanoi.
For those who have been screened and found to need cataract operations, they can usually get operation after 3 days.
For years, the Fred Hollows Foundation have been providing support to the patients with eye affections in the area, providing proper equipment for surgeries and eye screening, building the waiting area for patients and training the medical staff from the Hoa Binh Social Disease Prevention Center, as well as providing the financial support for expenses in cataract surgery that are not provided by the insurance, as transport and meals for those living in more isolated areas.
