Singapore, Jan 25 (DPA) General surgeons across Asia will have the opportunity for training in colorectal operations at the Singapore General Hospital under a new agreement.
Eighteen surgeons from the region will come to the city-state for training during the next three years, under the programme set up by the hospital and Tyco Healthcare, a US-based manufacturer of medical devices.
Associate Professor Eu Kong Weng, head of colorectal surgery at the hospital told The Straits Times that he is regularly invited to India, Thailand, Malaysia and elsewhere to train or lecture on the latest techniques.
This is an effort to train Asian colleagues at the hospital, he said.
