HA NOI — The National
Paediatrics Hospital will use online technology to teach the latest deltoid
muscle fibrosis treatments to doctors in five provincial hospitals tomorrow.
In the first programme of
its kind, the hospital’s senior experts will use online television to instruct
their local colleagues on the treatment process including diagnosis, criteria to
determine which cases will require surgery, surgical procedures, rehabilitation,
and non-surgical methods.
"The sharing of
information online is aimed to minimise training costs. A number of local
doctors in many provinces can be guided at the same time," said the
hospital’s deputy director Nguyen Van Loc.
The participating
hospitals are located in Nghe An, Bac Giang, Vinh Phuc, Hoa Binh and Thai
Nguyen.
The programme aims to help
hospitals nationwide treat deltoid muscle fibrosis, a disease that afflicts more
than 10,000 children. The online training programme is expected to be applied in
other provinces in the near future. — VNS
