Army doctors descend as rural clinics face patient surge

Military doctors aboard the Thanlwin hospital vessel extended medical outreach across remote delta communities, establishing temporary clinics that treated hundreds of residents from Kyonku and surrounding settlements in Ngaputaw Township. The specialized team, operating from Seikta Thukha monastery, delivered care spanning general medicine, surgical procedures, maternal health, pediatrics, orthopedics, ear-nose-throat services, ophthalmology, and dentistry to coastal populations in Yangon and Ayeyawady regions.

Health workers performed diagnostic imaging, ultrasounds, electrocardiograms, and laboratory screenings while conducting surgical interventions for general and ocular conditions. The floating medical mission reached 612 patients seeking treatment at the local garrison facility, addressing chronic conditions and acute injuries across multiple specialties during the village circuit.
