Free orthopaedic treatment

NST: JOHOR BARU: Sixty Chinese orthopaedists will spend five hours treating those with muscular, bone and joint problems in what could be the largest ever medical camp here this week.
The medical camp will be held at Southern College from 10am to 3pm on Wednesday.
Diagnosis, treatment and medicine will be free of charge.
The charity event is one of the highlights of the two-day Sixth World Symposium on Traditional Chinese Orthopaedics, organised by the World Federation of Traditional Chinese Orthopaedics, beginning tomorrow.
Organising chairman Soo Cheng Ren said the event was being held here in line with the State Government’s efforts to promote medical tourism.
"It is an honour for Malaysia to be chosen as the venue for this prestigious event. It is a gathering of the cream of the industry and Chinese orthopaedics in the country will gain significantly," he said.
A total of 300 Chinese orthopaedists from 24 countries will attend the symposium.
Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek is expected to open the event tomorrow, while Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman is expected to close it on Wednesday.
China’s Ambassador to Malaysia Wang Chun Gui is expected to attend the opening ceremony.
The last symposium was held in Germany in 2004.
