The partnership between Saint Joseph Hospital in Kinshasa (Capital city of DRC) and University Eye Clinic Rostock, Germany exists since 2000. The ophthalmologists from Rostock University performed 12 visits of St. Josef Hospital with the aim to perform oculoplastic surgery in complicated cases as well as to teach the local ophthalmologists. There they performed about 150 surgeries (entropion, ectropion, ptosis, repair of lid injuries, eye lid reconstruction and tumour management, lacrimal surgery) in joint teams. The programme of on-site training was established during this time. Meanwhile, the Kinshasa colleagues are able to perform the basic techniques by themselves. Two colleagues have obtained advanced training in oculoplastics in Rostock. The fruitful cooperation enabled the development of oculoplastic surgery in St. Josef Hospital in Kinshasa. The further education and training proccesses will support the continuous advancement in ophthalmological health care in DRC.
金沙萨（刚果民主共和国首都）的圣约瑟夫医院与德国罗斯托克大学眼科诊所自2000年起建立了合作关系。罗斯托克大学的眼科医生对圣约瑟夫医院进行了12次访问，目的是为复杂病例实施眼部整形手术，并培训当地眼科医生。他们在联合团队中进行了约150例手术（睑内翻、睑外翻、上睑下垂、眼睑损伤修复、眼睑重建及肿瘤处理、泪道手术）。在此期间建立了现场培训计划。与此同时，金沙萨的同事们已经能够自行开展基本技术操作。两名同事在罗斯托克获得了眼部整形方面的高级培训。富有成效的合作推动了金沙萨圣约瑟夫医院眼部整形手术的发展。继续教育和培训过程将支持刚果民主共和国眼科医疗保健的持续进步。
