Advancing Gynaecological Care: IGMH Hosts Surgical Workshop

The Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH), in collaboration with the Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists of Maldives (SOGM), has launched the first-ever gynaecological surgical workshop in the Maldives. Led by Professor Dr. Xiaoming Gong, a renowned expert from Beijing, China, the workshop focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgery techniques.

Dr. Gong, known for pioneering methods like single-port laparoscopic surgery and Lin’s Hysteroscopic Resection Technique, has been instrumental in improving fibroid ablation therapy. His expertise is now shared with local surgeons and nurses.

In his inauguration speech, Minister of Health Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim highlighted the importance of the workshop for advancing gynaecological care in the Maldives. Seven gynaecologists from hospitals across the country participated in this practical training.

The workshop aims to strengthen gynaecological services in the Maldives, providing local specialists with new skills to improve patient care and further elevate the country’s medical standards.
