The state Al-Khadra hospital announced yesterday that after a ten-year hiatus, it has reopened its Eye Clinic. The hospital said the Eye Clinic had just completed major maintenance.
It stated that the reopening comes within the framework of its plan in providing all specialties for patients visiting the hospital on the one hand and in reducing the burden on the (central) Eye Hospital on the other hand.
The hospital informed that its Eye Clinic includes a group of distinguished surgeons performing eye operations.
It will be recalled that last week the same hospital announced that it had resumed conducting keyhole knee surgery – again after a ten-year hiatus.
Localisation of healthcare policy
The resumption of the delivery of healthcare by numerous departments across hospitals in Libya comes as part of the Tripoli-based Libyan government’s localisation of healthcare policy.
This localisation gives more value for money to the state by treating more Libyans for the same money, reducing corruption in the highly corrupt overseas health provision system. It is also more democratic as overseas healthcare is overcompetitive and oversubscribed. It is open to much corruption and nepotism.
Localising healthcare is also more convenient for patients who would otherwise have to travel abroad for their healthcare with one or two chaperones.
