A TVM-Alina Vision Initiative: to set up a Medical Retina Service and Oculoplastics service in Hanoi, Vietnam

The Vision Mission travelled to Vietnam this year. TVM is collaborating with Alina Vision to set up a Medical Retina Service and Oculoplastics service at their first hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. The TVM team consisting of Dr. Jason Lee, Dr. Raghuraj Hegde and Dr. Anupama Kiran went over to Hanoi to train local ophthalmologists and other allied para-medical staff. TVM's goals as an organisation has been at capacity building, sustainability and access to sub-speciality eye care in under-served areas in East and South Asia. This finds mutual synergies with Alina Vision and we hope that this project brings value to the local population.
