YUNNAN, Mar 5 (UNB): Three hospitals in Kunming, China are fully prepared to offer advanced medical treatment to Bangladeshi patients, marking a new chapter in medical cooperation between Bangladesh and China.
"We're ready to welcome Bangladeshi patients at our designated hospitals and provide advanced treatment," said Yunnan Province Health Commissioner Wang Jiankun.
He made the remarks during a meeting with a 21-member Bangladesh delegation, led by BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, at the conference room of Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital.
Jiankun said the first group of 11 Bangladeshi patients will depart for China on March 10.
Of them, he said three children will receive treatment at Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital.
Jiankun emphasised that China is keen to continue enhancing its cooperation with Bangladesh across various sectors, including healthcare.
He assured the delegation that Bangladeshi patients would receive world-class treatment at affordable prices in Yunnan.
Besides, Jiankun confirmed that special facilities such as halal food, accommodation, and a streamlined visa process would be provided to Bangladeshi patients.
To address language barriers, he mentioned that each hospital has arranged for interpreters to assist Bangladeshi patients.
The three leading hospitals in Kunming designated for Bangladeshi patients are the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, and the hospital affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
These hospitals will offer specialised services in cardiovascular care, complex surgeries, cancer therapy, orthopaedics, and the treatment of kidney and liver diseases.
During the meeting, Dr Moyeen Khan expressed his satisfaction with the hospital's facilities.
