The lack of ophthalmic medical resources in rural areas has aroused public concern.

Taiwan Province Anti-Blindness Foundation injected resources to help eye care in rural areas, hoping to attract public attention. In particular, it held a "Charity Photography Exhibition on the Way Home" with Guo, an international award-winning photographer, and used the donations from the exhibition to fund the disadvantaged ophthalmology in rural areas.

Although the medical system in Taiwan Province Province is developed, the medical resources in rural areas are scarce. According to statistics, there are only five ophthalmologists practicing in 77 rural areas. In addition to injecting resources, the Taiwan Province Foundation for the Prevention of Blindness hopes to attract people's attention, especially holding a "Charity Photography Exhibition on the Way Home" with Guo, an international award-winning photographer who attaches importance to related issues, and using the proceeds of the exhibition for eye care in rural areas.

80% of blinding eye diseases can be prevented, which requires public attention and resources.

In recent years, people in Taiwan Province Province have become more and more aware of disease prevention, but their awareness of eye diseases is relatively low. According to the report of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 20 17, there are currently more than 250 million visually impaired people in the world, with an average of 1 child blind every minute, and 500,000 blind people are added every year in the world. Up to 80% of blinding eye diseases can be prevented, avoided or cured, but many eye diseases are irreversible, so more attention and resources are needed.

The Foundation for the Prevention of Blindness went deep into the countryside to help the visually impaired to carry out vision care.

In this regard, Cai Ruifang, chairman of the Taiwan Province Foundation for Prevention of Blindness, said that according to the statistics of February 2065438+2009, medical resources in rural areas of Taiwan Province Province are scarce, and there are only five ophthalmologists practicing in 77 rural areas. Therefore, the Taiwan Province Foundation for Prevention of Blindness not only appeals to the public to pay attention to related issues, but also continues to deepen the medical services for the weak ophthalmology in rural areas, advocating that prevention is more important than treatment, and planning to schools and enterprises. And teach ophthalmology health education knowledge, hoping that the people can establish it.

The charity photo exhibition will last until March 3, attracting public attention.

This "Charity Photography Exhibition on the Way Home" has been warmly welcomed by many people who have long supported and cared about the concept of free eye consultation and care for rural residents, including Guo, an internationally renowned photographer who won many awards, Chen Dengshou, general manager of the Art Museum, and artists Cai and Huang Xize. * * * All the money from the exhibition is supported by paintings, and it is planned to donate all the money to the Taiwan Province Foundation for Prevention of Blindness, which will be used for ophthalmic treatment, optician, referral and health education in rural areas.
