Some 200 cataract patients in Myanmar will soon be able to see things more clearly thanks to a Chinese medical team providing free eye surgery treatment in the Southeast Asian country.


With a population of some 54 million people, Myanmar reportedly has at least 300,000 cataract patients.


81-year-old Aung Win is one of them.


He received free cataract surgery on his left eye in Yangon on Friday, after which his vision improved to 20/25, which is just slightly worse than average.

"It's just fine after the operation. Previously 2 I could basically see nothing clearly. But now it's very clear."


The operation was conducted by a doctor from a Chinese medical team led by Peng Zhikun from the Aier Eye Hospital Group.


"The Loving Overseas Chinese—Brightness Action program is aimed at bringing charity and medical expertise 3 together so as to bring brightness to underprivileged patients in the countries along the route of the Belt and Road Initiative."


Peng Zhikun adds that "Loving Overseas Chinese—Brightness Action" is also a practical result of the implementation 4 plan on health cooperation, a collaboration 5 between China and the World Health Origanisation under the Belt and Road Initiative. The implementation plan was signed last week in Beijing.

The China inspired Belt and Road initiative brings together more than 60 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe in economic and cultural cooperation.


Chinese medical workers are scheduled to provide similar free operations to cataract patients in other Southeast Asian nations including Cambodia, the Philippines and Thailand later this year.
