Ghana's Average Cataract Surgical Rate (CSR) stands at 523 surgeries per million population. It falls drastically short of the World Health Organisation's recommended target of 2,000 surgeries per million population. The gap between the actual CSR and the WHO target is a cause for concern because it indicates that a large number of Ghanaians with cataracts are not receiving the necessary treatment to prevent blindness.

Nathaniel Yaw Oppong from Ghana came to China in 2017, after studying at Shenyang based He Eye Specialists Hospital, he went back to Ghana and opened a medical centre with the aim of giving sight back to Ghanaian patients. Today, the medical centre not only performs cataract surgeries restoring sight to local patients but also provides training to local doctors, elevating overall medical standards in the region.

The Belt and Road Ophthalmologist Training Program is a project sponsored by China's Ministry of Commerce, which aims to provide young ophthalmologists from participating countries in the Belt and Road Initiative with advanced training in ophthalmic diagnostic reasoning, treatment concepts, and surgical techniques to improve their professional skills and to fill the shortage in local demand for ophthalmologists.

　　加纳的平均白内障手术率为每百万人口523例。这大大低于世界卫生组织建议的每百万人口2000例手术的目标。实际的企业社会责任与世界卫生组织目标之间的差距令人担忧，因为这表明大量患有白内障的加纳人没有得到必要的治疗来预防失明。

　　来自加纳的Nathaniel Yaw Oppong于2017年来到中国，在沈阳何氏眼科医院学习后，他回到加纳，开设了一家医疗中心，旨在让加纳患者恢复视力。如今，该医疗中心不仅为当地患者进行白内障手术，恢复视力，还为当地医生提供培训，提高了该地区的整体医疗水平。

　　“一带一路”国家眼科医生培训项目是由中国商务部主办的一个项目，旨在为“一带一路”倡议参与国的年轻眼科医生提供眼科诊断诊断、治疗理念、治疗方法以及手术技术，以提高他们的专业技能，并填补当地对眼科医生需求的短缺。
