Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center and Shanghai Jiaotong University-affiliated Renji Hospital boosted their partnership, focusing on liver transplantation to enhance both medical services and training.
A pediatric liver transplant patient from CGHMC was scheduled for surgery at Renji Hospital in Shanghai on Feb. 11, 2025.
The child’s father volunteered as the liver donor and traveled with the medical team.
The surgery marks a significant step forward in China-Philippine medical cooperation, aimed at saving lives and helping patients.
In 2024, a CGHMC delegation, including Antonio Tan, Dr. Benito Goyokpin, Mr. Kelly Sia and Dr. Samuel Ang visited Shanghai for the first time.
They attended a medical exhibition and toured Renji Hospital to learn about its advancements in liver transplantation.
Following the visit, Renji Hospital experts traveled to the Philippines for discussions on technical exchanges and clinical training.
A medical cooperation MOU was signed in 2024, formalizing the collaboration in liver transplantation, with a focus on physician training, technical exchanges and enhancing clinical practices.
The goal is to elevate liver transplant capabilities in the Philippines and provide local doctors with advanced training opportunities.
Renji Hospital, renowned for its expertise in pediatric liver transplants, has performed over 3,800 successful surgeries in recent years.
Chinese General Hospital covered the full cost of the surgery and treatment for the patient.
