Tra Vinh University Community Service Center partners with Tra Vinh University Hospital to conduct comprehensive eye disease screening for disadvantaged patients across the province from May 17-18, 2025. The initiative aims to prepare patients for upcoming surgeries while ensuring they receive optimal pre-operative care.
Ms. Phung Thi Phuong Khanh, Director of the Community Service Center, explains that the screening program helps people with vision loss and suspected cataracts understand their condition better. The program increases public awareness about cataracts and available treatment options while making eye care services more accessible to people facing financial difficulties.
The screening program runs from May 5 to June 20, covering three key locations: Truong Long Hoa commune in Duyen Hai district, Phong Thanh commune in Cau Ke district, and Hung Hoa commune in Tieu Can district. Patients receive examinations and treatment at the Department of Ophthalmology within Tra Vinh University Hospital. Rohto-Mentholatum Vietnam Co., Ltd. sponsors this meaningful collaboration between the university’s Community Service Center and Hospital. Medical teams from Tra Vinh University conduct thorough health assessments, checking both general health conditions and specific eye problems for each patient.
During examinations, doctors provide detailed explanations about surgical procedures based on initial diagnosis results. They offer comprehensive guidance on pre-operative procedures and nutritional requirements, helping patients feel more confident and psychologically prepared for surgery.
Ms. Dang Thi Thuong from Phong Thanh commune in Cau Ke district expresses deep gratitude to program organizers and the medical team for creating opportunities for disadvantaged patients to access eye disease treatment.ย
The program will culminate with free artificial lens replacement surgery using the advanced Phaco method, scheduled from June 25 to July 26, 2025, through a joint effort between Tra Vinh University Hospital and Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital medical teams.
