The Russian complex will also boost stronger cooperation with Vietnam and application of advanced ophthalmological technology on a larger scale, Prof. Dr. Khristo Takhchidi told State President Nguyen Minh Triet in Hanoi on April 27.

Takhchidi, who was on a five-day visit to Vietnam, highlighted the establishment of the Excimer Laser Department to treat refractive eye disorders at Vietnam-Russia Ophthalmology Hospital and the transfer of technology for treatment of children’s amblyopia. 

The Hanoi-based ophthalmology hospital has provided medical check-ups and treatment for some 31,000 patients over the past two years. 

“The Fyodorov Eye Micro-surgery Complex would do its best as a supplier of hi-tech ophthalmological services for Vietnamese people”, the Russian ophthalmologist said. 

President Triet welcomed Khristo Takhchidi’s visit as a considerable contribution to stronger ties between the two countries’ ophthalmological sectors in particular and medical services in general.
