From knee replacements to gynaecological surgeries, doctor duo on a mission to give back

gulfnews.com

Two Dubai-based doctors have taken a vow to give back to society and help the underprivileged and the sick from Asia to Africa with free medical camps, surgeries and in many cases even subsidised prosthesis.
Travelling to places like Somaliland, Nigeria and the remote mountainous regions of India such as Kargil, Dr Azam Badar Khan, specialist orthopaedic surgeon, and Dr Talakere Usha Kiran, consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician, both from Prime Hospital, Dubai, have made it a mission to serve the needy and poor.

In the first week of October, Dr Khan took a trip to Somaliland and conducted eight total knee replacements in a single day for underprivileged patients who were unable to travel to other countries owing to the pandemic. Speaking to Gulf News, Dr Khan said: “Patients in Somaliland, many of them from the interiors of the country, usually travel to India for knee replacement surgeries. However, this year has been very challenging for most. Unable to travel, many were in pain and waiting for me to conduct these surgeries.”

COVID-19 continues to spread globally to threaten people’s lives and cause massive economic losses. In order to assist Somaliland to increase its related capability to combat this pandemic, the Taiwan Representative Office in the Republic of Somaliland once again cooperates with KMUH healthcare system, Taiwanese NGO and company to donate Taiwanese-made high-quality surgical masks and protective gowns to the Ministry of Health Development of the Republic of Somaliland.​

Taiwan has been side by side with Somaliland to combat COVID-19 by sharing various Taiwanese-made medical supplies including masks, PPE, antigen rapid tests, PCR machines and reagents and many others since the outbreak of COVID-19. As the weather turns cooler, there are concerns to prepare for the new wave of the pandemic, and since the global vaccine coverage is insufficient and the treatment methods are not yet popular, people still need to take necessary measures to combat COVID-19, including wearing masks and sanitize hands. Taiwan Representative Office in the Republic of Somaliland integrated the resources of International College of Surgeons Taiwan Section (Taiwan ICS) and ACTife, providing Somaliland Government with high-quality masks and gowns to assist the government in safeguarding her people’s health.​

​

Viruses know no borders and no one is safe until everyone is. No country can remain on the sidelines and should be all integrated to the international community to fight against this pandemic which threatens all mankind. Taiwan is willing and ready to contribute and share more with international community. The G7 foreign ministers, government leaders or high-level officials of diplomatic allies as well as Japan, Sweden, Canada, Belgium, and the United States have publicly expressed their rock-solid support for Taiwan to participate in the related international activities. Taiwan Representative Office in the Republic of Somaliland would also like to express the heartfelt gratitude to Somaliland Government’s continuously support in this regard.​

Taiwan will continue to share the medical resources and work together with Somaliland to combat the pandemic. “Taiwan can help” and “Taiwan is helping” are not only slogans, they also show the brotherly friendship between Taiwan and Somaliland. The core principles of “Taiwan Model” of cooperation are based on “mutual assistance for mutual benefits” (MAMB). Taiwan and Somaliland are together to shape this new “WIN-WIN” cooperation model.​

Somaliland is an important partner of Taiwan in East Africa. Both sides share the common core values of freedom and democracy. Taiwan commits to deepen bilateral cooperation with Somaliland Government to benefit the people, as well as together with like-minded countries, in various fields.​
