Providing free eye surgery to Cambodian patients

via Khmer NZ

A delegation of Vietnamese voluntary doctors on July 25 wrapped up their working trip to Cambodia’s Svay Rieng border province where they provided free eye examination and surgery to the poor patients.

The trip was jointly organised by the Tay Ninh Red Cross and Nguyen Trai hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.

Within two days’ working, the Vietnamese doctors conducted cataract surgeries for 176 patients and distributed free medication to 310 others in the province.

The total cost of the trip, including operation fee, medicines and gifts to the people, was worth roughly US$10,400.
