Cataract, one of the leading causes of blindness, is afflicting people in less developed countries, such as Laos, Cambodia, India, and Africa, but is a medical condition both curable and preventable.
Since 2015, with the launch of the "The Health Silk Road" project, China has been committed to providing public health assistance, such as free cataract surgeries, to countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has come up with a cataract eradication program of its own to help people in those countries.
