YANGON (Nov. 11) XINHUA - Surgical operations were jointly
performed
here on Tuesday by Myanmar and Singapore specialists.
The orthopedic operations on patients were carried out at
the Defense Services
Orthopedic Hospital by visiting Singapore orthopedists, led
by Dr. Yeo Seng
Jin, and their Myanmar counterparts, led by Colonel Than
Myint, Commandant
of the hospital, official The New light of Myanmar reported
Wednesday.
It was the second time for the cooperation in the medical
field between the two
countries. In August last year, Myanmar and Singapore
specialists successfully
performed cardiac operations for the first time in Yangon's
Defense Services
General Hospital by inserting balloon catheters in the
hearts of four
cardiovascular patients.
As a follow-up, the Myanmar surgeons are planning to treat
cardiac patients
effectively by using cardiovascular X-ray system provided by
Japan.
Moreover, Myanmar specialists also successfully transplanted
for the first time a
kidney on a 41-year old woman in May last year, according to
earlier official
report.
