The 14th Chinese Medical Brigade has just concluded a one-year stint at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) report, the 16-member team has been in Guyana since June, 2018.
While here, specialists from the team successfully piloted three surgical procedures new to GPHC: a nerve block to treat advanced pancreatic cancer, performed by a general surgeon; a posterior tibial plateau fracture surgery through the knee medial posterior approach performed by an orthopaedic surgeon and a combined spinal and sciatic nerve block performed by an anaesthesiologist.
