In a heartwarming tale of cross-border compassion, Aminath Waheeda, a tailor from the Maldives, has regained her vision—and her zest for life—thanks to a life-changing surgery by Chinese ophthalmologist Dr. Lin Haotian. 🧵✨
Aminath, who once stitched vibrant garments for her community, faced despair when severe cataracts left her nearly blind. But hope arrived in November 2024 when Dr. Lin, part of a medical team from Sun Yat-sen University’s Ophthalmic Center, performed advanced eye surgery. Now, she’s back at her sewing machine, weaving color and joy into every design.
💬 "I see the world anew," Aminath shared. "Every thread is a celebration now."
This story highlights how global medical collaboration can transform lives—one stitch (or surgery) at a time. 🌏❤️
