Visiting the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS) and the Mongolian-Japan Hospital (MJH) 

From August 6 (Sun) to 11 (Fri), 2023, Kyushu University Hospital staff specialized in endoscopy, surgery, radiology, pathology, oncology, and clinical engineering visited the MJH to observe and provide medical guidance. This is the second year of the project, “Human Resource Development for Treatment of Gastrointestinal Diseases in Mongolia” being implemented by Kyushu University as a project for promoting international health cooperation with the National Center of Global Health and Medicine.

During the stay in Mongolia, surgeons and endoscopists performed surgeries and treatments together with local doctors. The first Laparoscopy and Endoscopy Cooperative Surgery for gastric cancer was performed at MJH and was broadcast live in Mongolia via the Internet. The pathologist not only provided diagnostic guidance but also gave lectures and instructions on specimen preparation, while the radiologist and the oncologist engaged in lively discussions and guidance based on patient data. The clinical engineer explained the handling of medical equipment used in surgery and endoscopy and how to respond to errors, and many Mongolian staff members took notes enthusiastically. On the last day, a seminar was held by our specialists on robotic surgery in the biliopancreatic region, chemotherapy for gastric cancer, and the usefulness of CT in the diagnosis of gastric cancer.

On August 9, hospital director Prof. Nakamura and other staff members visited the MNUMS and had a meeting with the President, Dean of the School of Medicine, and Directors of the affiliated hospitals. It was a very meaningful time with active exchange of opinions for future collaborations, such as strengthening human exchanges and expanding telemedicine education.

Currently, 4 doctors and 1 IT engineer from Mongolia are undergoing one-month training at Kyushu University Hospital.
