Russians offer more help, technology for eye surgery

VietNamNet Bridge – The head of Russia's S.N. Fyodorov Eye Micro Surgery Complex promised here yesterday to transfer more high quality technology and services to Viet Nam's ophthalmological industry.


Professor Khristo Takhchidi told President Nguyen Minh Triet on the first day of a five-day visit this included setting up the Excimer Laser Department to treat refractive eye disorders at the Viet Nam-Russia Ophthalmology Hospital in Ha Noi and the transfer of technology for treatment of children's amblyopia.


The hospital has provided medical check-ups and treatment for 31,000 patients during the past two years.


"The Fyodorov Eye Micro-surgery Complex will do its best to supply services based on high technology," the Russian ophthalmologist said.


Takhchidi's visit was welcomed by President Triet as a considerable contribution to stronger medical relations between the two countries.


Triet said Russia was a strategic partner and a loyal friend to the Vietnamese people, highlighting the training of many generations of Vietnamese medical doctors in that nation.


He said services provided by the Ophthalmology Hospital had benefited thousands of Vietnamese patients.


The hospital's humanitarian services had also helped disadvantaged patients otherwise unable to afford high-quality medical services.


The State leader warmly welcomed the initiative to set up another joint-venture ophthalmological hospital in HCM City. He also called for joint ventures in other cities.
