The Rotary Club of Essendon's  delegation to Myanmar this month has once again delivered vital equipment in the form of a specialised liver ultrasound scanner and supplies, which are vital for management of patients with chronic liver disease and was greatly appreciated by all the staff.

 

The Myanmar Liver Foundation at Than Sitt Charity Clinic sees around 1,500 patients in a year and of these 800 or so need medical imaging. This ultrasound is mobile and will greatly facilitate their workload.

 

 

 

The Rotary Club of Essendon has annual visits to Myanmar for over 12 years with the supply of medical equipment to hospitals,  provision of oxygen concentrators during the Covid pandemic, food supplies to orphanages, construction of a raised road from one of the orphanages to allow children to attend school when flooded, as well as many other projects. Our most recent endevour is to support and protect children being abused in the illicit body organ trade with the help of a local charity

Step-In Step-Up in Yangon.
