The "Healthy Dreams · Minimally Invasive in Ghana · Bright View of the World" charity project is one of the overseas key charity projects supported by BUCF. In 2022, we collaborated with the 11th batch of Chinese medical teams to aid Ghana, and supported Lekma Hospital through medical supplies donations to carry out 87 cataract surgeries and 25 laparoscopic surgeries, bringing good news to 111 Ghanaian patients in need and curing their diseases through surgery.
Time flies, it cannot take away the long-standing friendship between China and Ghana, nor can it take away the care and warmth of the BUCF for the people of Ghana. On September 25, 2024, the Beijing United Charity Foundation collaborated with the 13th batch of aid to Ghana's Chinese medical team to donate 100 foldable artificial intraocular lenses and 50 sets of specialized fluid collection boxes for phacoemulsification machines to support the China–Ghana Friendship Hospital in carrying out 100 cataract surgeries for local disadvantaged patients. They also donated nearsighted glasses for patients after surgery to help Ghana's disadvantaged patients who had lost their sight due to cataracts regain their sight and achieve the best corrected vision. The project renewal ceremony was held grandly in Accra, Ghana. Chinese Ambassador to Ghana Tong Defa attended the ceremony and delivered a speech, expressing high appreciation and support for the continued development of the project.
At present, the donated materials have arrived in Ghana in two batches. With the joint assistance of Chinese medical experts and Lianyi donated materials, 8 local cataract patients in difficult situations have been successfully operated on, helping them regain their sight.
The renewal and promotion of this charity project once again demonstrated the profound friendship between the Chinese and Ghanaian people to build a better future hand in hand. The BUCF will continue to uphold the spirit of humanitarianism, deepen medical and health cooperation with African countries, and strive to improve local medical standards, contributing to the construction of a human health community.
