Good
A real Christmas gift from a genuine human being. Thanks Japan and Dr Egawa
How do we know that he is not a quack? Zambia should not be a dumping ground
Sound like a good idea which needs to taken seriously from a broad base. Cardiac surgery is such a complex field which requires a lot of planning and a lot of investment .Our intensive care units are relatively so ill equipped and cannot manage the needs of patients who have undergone cardiac operations to this surgeons level of standards .There is a lot of planning from the pre, intra and post care up until rehabilitation phase. There is also issues of infections which can be devastating .
