He Wei, president of He Eye Specialist Hospital , said: the imbalance in medical resources has made poverty caused by illness a difficult bone to crack. We do not lack technology. For example, we have established an eye gene pool and now have leading international gene diagnosis and treatment technology. Gene technology was used to prevent and treat diabetic ophthalmopathy and improve the safety of myopia surgery. Knife-free surgery has been carried out for cataracts. What we need to do is how to share these highless technologies with poor patients.

He Wei said: this time, it was with the medical network of the postal services that He’s technology and expert resources were sunk to the grass-roots level. For example, international experts working at He Eye (Shenyang) Hospital also provide consultation services to rural patients remotely through a medical platform.

It is reported that in the next three years, the public welfare project will provide free medical advice to 30,000 people, carry out 6,000 free consultations, and implement public welfare treatment for 4,000 poor patients with cataracts and diabetic ophthalmopathy diseases.

The main venue of the project launch ceremony was in Jianchang County, Huludao. And at the same time, sub-venues were set up in 12 cities including Shenyang and Dalian, of the provinces.
