On December 11th, local time, the first glaucoma surgery in the Maldives was successfully performed by a team of doctors from Guangdong. On December 10th, the number of patients seeking eye consultations at the China-Maldives ophthalmology center in Hulhumale Hospital increased significantly. They knew that "Chinese experts have arrived again!"

On the 10th, the medical team from the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University was busy diagnosing and conducting eye exams for local patients in the China-Maldives ophthalmology center. Dr. Chen Wan, Deputy Chief Physician of the cataract Department and the assistant of the President of Hainan Ophthalmic Hospital, the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University, told reporters that 60 patients had made appointments that day. Many had made early reservations after learning that Chinese doctors would provide consultations.

Dr. Chen explained that local doctors in the Maldives are currently unable to perform glaucoma surgeries. Patients with glaucoma typically need to travel abroad for treatment. With the arrival of Chinese experts, many glaucoma patients came seeking treatment. On December 11th, the medical team successfully completed the first glaucoma surgery in the country.

From December 5th to 14th, with support and guidance from the National Health Commission of the PRC and the Health Commission of Guangdong Province, the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University and the Hulhumale Hospital launched the second phase of the China-Maldives ophthalmology center project. A team of 11 experts from Zhongshan University Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center arrived in the Maldives to provide medical services to thelocals.

In addition to the first glaucoma surgery, the medical team also performed dozens of cataract surgeries on local patients. The team brought 300 kilograms of medical supplies from Guangdong to the Maldives, including instruments, surgical consumables, and medicines.
