Agribank facilitates eye care for citizens

(VOV) - The Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) presented an ambulance and other medical equipment worth VND1.2 billion to the Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology (VNIO) on October 9.

Speaking at the donation ceremony, an Agribank official said this is an initial cooperation programme with the VNIO to help prevent blindness and work towards the global vision target for 2020.

 

 
 
VNIO Deputy Director Nguyen Xuan Hiep thanked Agribank for its assistance and promised to use it effectively to help provide eye check-ups and treatment, especially for the poor.

He also said he hopes that Agribank will continue helping the hospital with its blindness prevention programme.

 

The VNIO has received significant support over the past few years from both domestic and foreign individuals and organizations.

These donations have helped improve the quality of overall treatment and services, and provide free treatment and surgeries for poor people, which is a positive contribution to the national blindness prevention programme.
