Charity Eye Center, (CEC) 「亮睛點」

 

國內農村缺少醫療資源,農村衛生機構沒有能力施行白內障手術,佔中國人口大多數的農民又負擔不起城巿醫院的收費,城鄉間醫療屏障隔膜重重,農村衛生機構沒有能力施行白內障手術。

亮睛工程在貧困及眼科服務緊缺地區建設「亮睛點」,地區政府須承諾於八年內提供一對一的配對撥款,增添器材及進一步發展眼科服務。「亮睛點」有香港的專家協助策劃,培訓醫護人員,亮睛工程亦會派遣專家到「亮睛點」進行手術示範,向當地的醫生傳授技術,在貧困農村建立一支「不走的扶貧醫療隊」。

Project Vision assists the construction of Charity Eye Centres(CEC) in rural China. Project Vision will give advice on layout planning to refurbish or reconstruct the site. Each CEC will elect medical and technical staff to receive training in Project Vision. Special equipment will be donated to each CEC and experts will be sent from Hong Kong to teach the local doctors to perform the surgery.

When completed, the CEC will perform cataract surgery at cost to patients who can afford, and for free to those who cannot. Project Vision will audit the accounts of each CEC to ensure that the donations are well spent. A newly established CEC is expected to perform 400 to 500 cataract surgeries within the first year.
