Lifeline Express, a mobile hospital train providing a number of medical services, carries out thousands of cataract surgeries on Chinese people in the rural areas all over the country. In china, children as young as 4 years old have cataract, and are thus not able to see clearly and live with the risk of eventually turning blind.
Lifeline Express will be represented by Vice Chairman Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai Standing Committee Member of the National People’s Congress and former Chairman of HKSAR Legislative Council.
