Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>In a bid to continuing professional development for high-level specialists and providing training for the creation of a new generation of young eye surgeons, the President of the Teaching Eyes Surgery (TES) Foundation of Switzerland, Professor Cyrus Tabatabay, is in Mauritius for a three-week period.<\/p>\n

In this context, Professor Tabatabay performed eye surgeries on Mauritian patients, today, at the New Souillac Hospital whereby local ophthalmologists gained first-hand experiences on cataract and vitrectomy surgeries.<\/p>\n

Professor Tabatabay will continue the mentoring of local surgeons during his stay. This initiative will further strengthen partnership with the Mauritian Government and the Foundation.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Professor Tabatabay underlined that Mauritius has a highly prevalent diabetic population requiring either laser or more complex surgical treatment and these require extensive training.<\/p>\n

He indicated that more Ophthalmic surgeries can be performed in the country with help of emerging technologies, upgrading of equipment and infrastructure as well as additional training to local surgeons.<\/p>\n

From January to November 2022, 4 717 cataract surgeries, 489 Chalazion surgeries, 1 901 eye surgeries, and 434 vitrectomies have been performed at the Moka Eye Hospital while a total of 2 046 cataract surgeries have been performed at the New Souillac Hospital.<\/p>\n
