The Government of Japan, under the Japan's Grassroots Grant Assistance, will provide a grant aid of US$ 89,450 to “Yangon General Hospital” for procurement of an X-ray Unit (radiographic and fluoroscopic systems combined) for the Radiology Department of that hospital. Yangon General Hospital was established in 1899 and present three- storied building was built in 1905 to accommodate 342 beds. In 1964, it was upgraded to 1,500-bedded hospital with a variety of specialist services. It serves as a tertiary care teaching hospital and receives all referral cases from all over the country especially from Yangon and lower Myanmar. Being the main center for handling accidents and injuries in Yangon, Radiology Department plays a vital role. In consideration of the prompt diagnosis and treatment for the patients in need, a complete X-ray Unit will be funded to enhance the Department's capacity. It is expected that the contribution would benefit the patients and improve hospital's medical services. The Grant Contract to this effect is signed on 16 March 2005 at the Embassy of Japan in Yangon, between Mr. Hiroshi Kawamura, Minister/Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Japan to the Union of Myanmar, and Dr. Nu Nu Tha, Medical Superintendent of “Yangon General Hospital”. |
