VietNamNet Bridge – Doctors from the Military Hospital 175 and other hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City have performed free eye check-ups and operations on hundreds of patients in Cambodia.
The free eye-care was on offer at the Phnom Penh-based Pres Ke Komala Hospital from Nov. 15-17 as part of a cooperation programme between the healthcare sectors and the Ministries of National Defence of the two countries.
Pres Ke Komala Hospital Director Ly So Vana said this is the third time since 2006 that the Vietnamese doctors have provided free eye check-ups and treatment for local patients.
The doctors also held a seminar to share experiences and expertise with their Cambodian colleagues, whilst the leaders of the two hospitals discussed plans to construct a dedicated eye-ward at the Cambodian hospital.
Santen and Alcon, both pharmaceutical companies, also contributed to the charitable activity by donating various medical equipment and medicine, according to Nguyen Phuc Quoc, an official with Military Hospital 175.
