MAPUTO, March 24 (Xinhua) -- The West China Hospital of Sichuan University donated an intelligent laparoscopy training and assessment system to Maputo Central Hospital of Mozambique on Wednesday.
Developed by Professor Liu Lunxu and his team, the system incorporated technologies such as image recognition. It has pioneered intelligent assessment of laparoscopic skills without relying on experts to score trainees' on-site operations.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Mouzinho Saide, director of Maputo Central, said Mozambique is among the first countries to benefit from the system, which will undoubtedly help the hospital improve its healthcare and service quality.
He also recalled that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mozambican medical workforce received valuable training and assistance through health cooperation channels with China.
The medical team leader, Zhang Hao, said the next goal is to help their local colleagues establish an intelligent laparoscopic training center with the system and the region's first "smart simulation" laparoscopic training center and objective assessment system.
