STORYLINE:

A charity project to extend free surgical treatment in Ghana was relaunched on Wednesday by the Chinese medical team with the support of some Chinese enterprises and charity organizations.
   
Under the project titled "Minimally Invasive Surgery in Ghana & Seeing the Beautiful World," the 13th batch of the Chinese medical team will continue to provide free surgical treatment for cataract patients, in addition to free laparoscopic surgeries at the China-Ghana Friendship Hospital, also known as the LEKMA Hospital in Accra, the capital of Ghana.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): TONG DEFA, Chinese Ambassador to Ghana
"China has been upgrading Ghana's healthcare infrastructure, including funding and building the China-Ghana Friendship Hospital, helping build the capacity of local ophthalmologists, and sponsoring cataract surgeries for Ghanaians for many years."
   
The ambassador noted that over the past 15 years, China has sent 13 batches of medical teams with more than 100 highly skilled doctors from various specialties to Ghana, and part of their focus has been free cataract surgeries.
  
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): TONG DEFA, Chinese Ambassador to Ghana

"This initiative represents not only the advancement of medical technology in Ghana but also the power of cooperation between nations and institutions for the greater good."
   
Since December 2022, the Chinese medical teams have conducted 94 free successful cataract surgeries and 25 free laparoscopic surgeries for Ghanaians under the charity project.
