Tibetan children treated here
Print Edition
FORTY-FOUR Tibetan children began receiving pre-surgery checks in Shanghai yesterday to treat their congenital heart disease.
The children, accompanied by parents, arrived in the city at the weekend for charity surgery.
All the checks will be completed today, when doctors will schedule their surgery, officials from Shanghai Yodak Cardio-Thoracic Hospital said.
The children are the beneficiaries of a charity program, which has screened more than 24,000 children in Ngari, Tibet, over the past eight years and offered free treatment for 238 children.
The latest batch of Tibetan children whose ages range from 3 to 17, were detected during this year’s screening in Ngari and were selected for further checks and surgery at Yodak Cardio-Thoracic Hospital.
The hospital has conducted charity surgery for 147 Tibetan children covered by the program and all surgeries carried out have been successful.
“Restricted by local medical capability in Tibet, all these children will receive further and more detailed checks in our hospital, which has set up special doctor teams,” said Dr Xiao Mingdi, the hospital president.
“We will arrange surgeries as soon as possible after finishing the checks and renovating their physical condition after arriving in Shanghai. Those with simple conditions can be given surgery and discharged in about one week.”
