THE reconstruction of the earthquake-damaged Pyin­mana Sangha Hospital has reached 100% completion, and a grand opening ceremony is scheduled to take place on 25 January, Dr Than Min Htut, a prominent physician widely known as the “Lamp of Pindaya”, announced on his social media page.

 

Venerable monks recited Paritta to mark the soft opening of the Dialysis Department, the Outpatient De­partment, and the Inpatient Department on 5 January.

 

“The reconstruction of the hospital has completed. Preparations are underway for the main opening on 25 January,” he said.

 

During the reconstruction, a new major operating theatre was added to the existing four. Surgeries in this new facility are expected to commence on the grand opening day.

 

Dr Than Min Htut expressed his gratitude to the various donors who contributed to the rebuilding efforts after the hospital was damaged by the earth­quake. He extended an invitation to donors from both near and far to attend the opening ceremony on 25 January. – MT/ZN
