China Health Express is the only mobile eye train hospital in China that specializes in charitable medical activities. 1In July, 1997, to celebrate Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Hong Kong compatriots proposed to build and donate the first China Health Express to serve poor cataract patients in the Mainland. Since 14, with the support and help of governments, institutions, enterprises and caring people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and the Mainland, there have been four train hospitals, which can help poor cataract patients 10000 people every year.
China Health Express Ophthalmic Train Hospital consists of four carriages, equipped with perfect medical facilities and excellent ophthalmologists from Beijing and Hongkong. Cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation are performed for patients in poor rural areas all the year round along the railway. Cataract surgery was performed at 105 stations in 83 poverty-stricken areas in 27 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, with a total of more than 1 10000 people, which restored their eyesight and working ability.
Second, the Health Express Ophthalmology Microsurgery Training Center
Four eye train hospitals can now treat 10000 poor cataract patients every year, but for a relatively large group of poor patients, the treatment speed is far from enough. In order to find a solution, since 2005, a health fast eye microsurgery training center has been established in underdeveloped areas. Through satellite networking technology, training websites, animal surgery laboratories and other modern training means, we can realize long-distance academic exchanges in ophthalmology, transmit the latest ophthalmology technology and information, improve the international communication ability of ophthalmologists, and promote various training centers to treat poor cataract patients. At present, the 15 Health Express Eye Microsurgery Training Center has been built. These training centers are located in Kunming of Yunnan, Nanning of Guangxi, Mianyang of Sichuan, xining of Qinghai, Changsha of Hunan, Urumqi of Xinjiang, Jinan of Shandong, Haikou of Hainan, Lanzhou of Gansu, Xi 'an of Shaanxi, Nanjing of Jiangsu, Zhengzhou of Henan, Nanchang of Jiangxi, Jilin City of Jilin Province and Hohhot of Inner Mongolia. By the end of 20 10, 10, the eye microsurgery training center of Health Express has carried out many trainings, held 83 training courses on cataract microsurgery, trained 3,463 junior doctors, and exempted 5557 operations1case.
At the same time, China Health Express also actively promotes mainland doctors to take the International Ophthalmology Examination (ICO Examination), and promotes the overall level of Chinese ophthalmologists to be in line with international standards. At present, there is no unified examination for ophthalmologists in Chinese mainland. However, internationally, the International Ophthalmology Association holds a unified examination for global ophthalmologists every year, and doctors who pass the examination obtain international certification in ophthalmology. In order to promote the integration of ophthalmologists in China with the international ophthalmology community, Health Express cooperated with the National Physical Examination Center and formulated a series of encouraging measures, such as increasing test sites and subsidizing registration fees, to promote the popularization of ICO examination in Chinese mainland. Up to 20 10, the "Health Express" has sponsored a total of 179 candidates, among which the outstanding candidates have also received full funding from the China Health Express Foundation to go to countries with developed ophthalmology for a three-month study.
Third, China Health Express Cataract Treatment Center
Since 2009, the poverty alleviation and blindness treatment work of Health Express has opened a new milestone.
In 2009, the focus of Health Express was not only to carry out free cataract surgery in the train hospital, but also to strengthen the training of primary ophthalmologists in the train hospital. Let doctors in county hospitals continue to operate on poor cataract patients after leaving the train hospital. China Health Express also donated advanced cataract treatment equipment to these primary hospitals, and established China Health Express Cataract Treatment Center, enabling more and more hospitals in remote areas to independently carry out cataract surgery. This work is in line with the national medical reform, which will comprehensively improve the level of ophthalmology medical care in the mainland and truly leave a healthy express train for the local area.
By the end of 20 10, * * China Health Express Cataract Treatment Center had been built and put into use, which were located in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, Xing 'an League, Inner Mongolia, Hechi, Guangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Ziyang, Sichuan, Jiaozuo, Suining, Jilin City, Jilin Province and Nanyang, Henan Province. By the end of 20 10, 8 cataract treatment centers had completed 3266 cases of poverty alleviation surgery. 20 1 1 year, Health Express plans to build another 9 treatment centers. In the near future, China Health Express Cataract Treatment Center will be set up in many parts of the country to benefit many poor eye patients who have difficulty in seeking medical treatment.
Fourth, the rural school solar bathroom project
Wherever the train hospital went, the Health Express found that the living environment of poor children in rural areas was particularly difficult and the sanitary conditions were extremely poor, especially taking a bath in winter. Poor sanitary conditions have brought many health problems to children. After in-depth and comprehensive investigation and study, according to the actual situation in rural areas of China, Health Express launched a public welfare action to let rural children take hot baths: Health Express's new life action for rural children-solar bathroom project in rural schools. By the end of 20 10, 163 solar bathrooms for rural schools have been built in Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Liaoning, Hubei, Hebei, Chongqing, Jiangsu and other provinces and cities, bringing warmth to rural schools in remote areas, benefiting more than 50,000 teachers and students.
China Health Express Project embodies the efforts of health, civil affairs, disabled persons' federations, railways and other departments, ophthalmologists, donors and other people from all walks of life. And got the support and help from national leaders down to ordinary people, thus realizing the real poverty alleviation and blindness prevention project. Since 2005, Health Express has successively won the National Model Collective Award for National Unity, China Charity Award and China Poverty Eradication Award, and won "4A" in the first chinese social organizations Awards. In 2009, in order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kong Kong Wen Report, Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and Hong Kong Chinese Enterprises Association jointly sponsored the "Large-scale Series Selection Campaign for China in 60 Years", and "Health Express" was rated as one of the top ten famous original brands that have influenced China in 60 years. These honors were won with the support and help of governments at all levels, institutions in Hong Kong and the Mainland, and caring people from all walks of life. They are the full affirmation of the charity of "China Health Express" by the central government and the general public. These achievements and honors will be a great impetus to push forward the China Health Express.
