The Government of Japan, under
the Japan 's Grassroots Grant Assistance Scheme, will provide a
grant aid of US$ 80,983 to “Kokang People's Hospital Management
Committee” for procurement of medical equipment for that hospital.
Kokang People's Hospital was established in
1998 as a 60-bedded facility in Laukkai Township of Northern Shan
State Special Region No.1. The hospital with its specialist departments
such as internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, obstetric
and gynecology, orthopedics, etc covers Cin Shwe Haw, Kon Chan and
Laukkai townships in the region. In consideration of the prompt
and more efficient diagnosis and care for the patients seeking treatment
at the facility, equipment such as anesthetic machine, ventilator,
x-ray machine, cardiac monitor, ECG, ultrasound, microscope, blood
electrolyte analyzer and urine analyzer will be funded. It is expected
that the contribution would benefit the patients in need and improve
hospital's medical services.
The Grant Contract to this effect is signed
on 14 February 2006 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 U Tun Lwin, Deputy Chief of
