Implement partnership to improve diabetic eye care
AI assisted screening for diabetic eye disease has been introduced at Thu Duc Regional General Hospital as part of a wider programme to bring earlier detection and treatment closer to patients
Roche Pharma Vietnam, in collaboration with Orbis International and the Vietnam Eye Health initiative, has implemented a partnership to enhance diabetic eye care in Vietnam. Through this partnership, a non-mydriatic colour fundus camera equipped with AI-assisted image analysis software was handed over to Ba Ria–Vung Tau Eye Hospital and later to Thu Duc Regional General Hospital.
This move aims to establish a comprehensive management model for diabetic retinopathy and macular oedema, enabling early detection and timely treatment, which can prevent or effectively treat vision loss and blindness caused by these conditions. The partnership also includes the development and implementation of the scheme, with the goal of supporting capacity building for more than 100 doctors, nurses, and technicians, and benefiting over 20,000 patients across six hospitals by the end of 2027.
