Chinese Medical Brigade, CNOOC donate 4K Fluorescence Laparoscopy Surgical System to GPHC
Kaieteur News- The 20th China Media Team from Jiangsu Province, China in collaboration with China National Offshore Oil Company’s (CNOOC) Petroleum Guyana Limited (CPGL) on Friday donated a 4K Fluorescence Laparoscopy Surgical System to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Representatives from the China Medical Team, CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited (CPGL) and GPHC during the handing over of the 4K Fluorescence Laparoscopy Surgical System.
The donation is aimed at enhancing surgical operations in Guyana.
The medical equipment was handed over to officials at the Main Operating Theatre at GPHC, New Market Street, Georgetown. It is specifically designed to assist surgeons in performing surgeries with greater safety, precision, and effectiveness. The equipment will be especially beneficial in tumor resection and minimally invasive procedures, providing improved outcomes for patients and supporting the hospital’s surgical capabilities.
The 4K Fluorescence Laparoscopy Surgical System integrates fluorescence staining technology with laparoscopic surgical equipment, enabling surgeons to precisely identify lesions during surgery. The advanced 4K pixel-level monitor ensures a higher level of visibility and precision, improving clinical efficacy and increasing the success rate of surgeries.
The system enables precise staining of lesions in human tissues, which can then be displayed on a high-resolution 4K monitor. The high-definition imagery provides real-time guidance during surgeries, helping surgeons to navigate more accurately.
Dr. Shilindra Rajkumar, Head of the Department of Surgery at GPHC expressed deep gratitude to the Chinese Medical Team for its continued support.
