Story of Cambodia Village Health Support Group’s

 promoting eye health awareness activity!

 

 

---

 

Heart to Heart International Cambodia carried out a training program to increase awareness of eye health care for

Village Health Support Group in Siem Reap province from April.

Village Health Support Group (VHSG) acts as a catalyst for communicating health-related news and notices directly to community residents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heart to Heart International emphasized the role and function of the Vision Center which is able to receive prescription and

delivery of eye glasses through the training of Village Health Support Group.

Also we encouraged activities to spread the importance of early treatment of eye health and disease to the community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After finishing the training, Teung Veasna told that she has taken many educations about maternal and other health sectors,

but the activity related to the eye health was first time for her. 

 Therefore she has had a strong will to work very actively in the village for the elderly and the children who need

 the eye glasses and a few local residents suffering from eye disease.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through the activities of active Village Health Support Group,

we look forward to being able to protect the healthy eyes of the local residents everywhere in Siem Reap!

 

 

 

 The Heart to Heart International, which is in charge of project for strengthening the function and capacity of Secondary eye health system in Siem Reap, contributes to the improvement of the eye health in Siem reap district supporting the vision center operation and third-level eye surgery, delivering eye health care services, and establishing an eye health system with the support of the KOICA.
