– as Chinese medical team visits
Thirteen Berbicians benefited from specialised surgeries at the New Amsterdam Hospital, on Friday as the 11th Chinese Medical Brigade visited and conducted a series of medical interventions.
The presence of the Chinese Medical Brigade in Guyana is viewed by both China and Guyana as helping to deepen the two countries’ bilateral relations that date back to June 27, 1972.
Under the leadership of Dr. Wang Yongxiang, the nine-member team successfully completed one spinal, five eye (cataract), three gynaecological and four general surgeries. The spinal surgery was one of the more significant, since this type is not common at the hospital.
According to leader of the team, Dr. Wang Yongxiang, the brigade has been coming since 2014. He said that he has performed nearly 100 spine surgeries in GPHC, but such surgeries have rarely been performed in New Amsterdam Hospital.
The visiting medical team comprised general, orthopaedic and plastic surgeons, radiologist, pathologist, internal medical specialist, general medical officers and gynaecologists.
This 11th brigade has been serving Guyana for the past two years and will be returning
to China on Thursday.
The 16-member delegation has been conducting outreaches in different hospitals.
Additionally, the medical brigade also donated a quantity of medical supplies including cardiac and infant monitors, surgical instruments and protective gloves, clothing and other items to residents of Angoy’s Avenue in New Amsterdam.
Guyanese have been benefitting over the years since the advent of the Chinese medical brigade, bringing specialised skills to the health sector.
Local health care professionals have also benefitted from training.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
