North Okkalapa General Hospital

The North Okkalapa General Hospital was affiliated to the University of Medicine 2, Yangon in 1970. On 25 September 1996, the University moved to its present location in North Okkalapa beside the hospital. The hospital was originally designed to hold 400 beds. Although the building has not been expanded, it now holds 800 beds. ==Fundraising==

On 12 September 1998, the Medical Superintendent of North Okkalapa General Hospital, Dr Myint Maung Maung represented the hospital at a ceremony where cash donations were made for a trust fund to help poor and needy patients. On 24 August 2001, Professor Myint Maung Maung spoke at a ceremony at which K 2.46 million was distributed to buy medical equipment for the North Okkalapa General Hospital. ==Patients==

A significant number of the patients are poor. Patients who have been involved in traffic accidents often cannot afford to buy implants. The hospital staff understand the latest orthopedic care technologies, but lack the funds to buy instruments such as curved awls and reamer. Pre-operative surgical planning is handicapped by the need to conserve X-ray film. ==Main Department==
