People benefit from international medical exchanges

“The doctors at the Tumour Hospital are very modest and eager to learn,” said Professor Giuseppe Mariano, an internationally renowned bronchoscopy expert. He is also director of the Pulmonary Disease Centre of the Hospital Affiliated with University of Siena, Italy. He accepted our interview request while he was teaching a class at Yunnan Provincial Tumour Hospital -- also referred to as the  Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University.

 “We must increase international exchanges and cooperation to keep up with advanced technologies and cure more patients,” said Li Wenhui, deputy head of the Tumour Hospital. From 2014 to 2016, more than seventy experts from the United States, France, Germany, India, Singapore and other countries have been invited to the hospital for exchanges concerning management ideas, operational modes, academic studies, surgical procedures, research projects and other things.

According to Li Wenhui, after introducing the Spanish single-hole thoracoscopic lung cancer radical resection surgery, the hospital has successfully carried out more than 200 such surgeries. The patients recovered significantly faster than those receiving more conventional three-hole thoracoscopic surgeries.

 “In recent years, the hospital has received many patients from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Egypt and other countries,” said Li Wenhui. The hospital is making efforts to enable patients at home and abroad to benefit from advanced treatments. Amleth from Nepal learned tumour ablation and thyroid ablation surgical procedures at the Tumour Hospital. After returning home, he has performed a few such surgeries on his own. This year, the Tumour Hospital will carry out free treatments in Laos and send a nursing team to Myanmar to help more patients.
