In late August, a conference was held in the Chinese city of Tianjin, where the National Ophthalmological Alliance of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was established. It was headed by Professor Yang Hua of the local medical university. The deputy chairman of the alliance from Russia was appointed at the plenary session to be the head of the department of eye diseases of the RUDN medical institute, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Mikhail Frolov.
At the event, Mikhail Aleksandrovich gave a lecture on "The Current State and Prospects for the Development of Ophthalmology in the Russian Federation." He told the meeting participants about the criteria for the quality of specialized medical care for adults and children, the application of medical care standards, resources, and the main vectors and prospects for the development of ophthalmological services in our country.
"My appointment to the post of Deputy Chairman of the National Ophthalmological Alliance of the SCO from Russia and RUDN is another confirmation of the accepted international cooperation between President Vladimir Putin and Chairman of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping, as well as friendship between the countries of "One Belt – One Road". Participation in the alliance will allow us to expand the use of the most modern high-tech equipment between the two countries. And, of course, it will make our university even more famous outside the country, will contribute to attracting a flow of students, residents and postgraduates from the SCO countries and from all over the world to RUDN, and will help us develop unique innovative scientific projects in the field of ophthalmology," Mikhail Frolov.
According to Mikhail Aleksandrovich, Russia and China already have extensive experience of cooperation in such areas as surgical treatment of complicated forms of cataracts and glaucoma, refractive surgery, and eye diseases in countries with hot climates. The alliance will conduct cutting-edge research into diseases of the retina and optic nerve, eye diseases caused by hypertensive and diabetic retinopathy, various forms of occlusion of the central retinal vein and its branches, and obstruction of the central retinal artery.
At the plenary session, in addition to issues of exchange in the field of technology and joint implementation of research projects, the participants also discussed the following topics:
export of high-quality Chinese medicines, equipment and instruments to the alliance countries to improve the level of local healthcare systems; joint promotion of charitable medical initiatives in the SCO countries, development of a project for free cataract removal operations and implementation of regional programs for assistance in ophthalmology; implementation of educational programs and academic exchanges to train highly qualified ophthalmologists; creation of a unified information platform providing communication channels and joint use of data in the field of treatment, scientific research, education and the ophthalmology industry.
In the future, it is planned to hold an annual meeting of the SCO National Ophthalmological Alliance in different countries and regions, as well as organize events to exchange experience and cooperate in the field of vision protection.
