Gyeonggi Province has invited medical professionals from Baringo County, Kenya to a training program to share advanced medical technology at Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center.

Three doctors from the surgery, pediatrics, and internal medicine departments of Baringo County Hospital in Kenya are scheduled to visit Gyeonggi Province from June 17 to July 12, 2024, for a four-week training program at Paju Hospital and Icheon Hospital of the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center.

 

 

This medical training program is a follow-up project to the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Gyeonggi Province and Baringo County, Kenya in May 2023 for the development of the healthcare sector. It marks the first exchange project for healthcare cooperation between Gyeonggi Province and Baringo County.

A Gyeonggi Province healthcare delegation, comprising members from Gyeonggi Province, the Gyeonggido Assembly, and the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center, visited Baringo County, Kenya, in May 2023. During the visit, they signed an MOU and discussed personnel exchanges between medical professionals while visiting Baringo County Hospital.

 

 

This medical training program will be conducted at the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center. The trainees will be divided between Paju Hospital and Icheon Hospital, where they will attend various training programs prepared by the medical center, including observing surgeries, internal medicine treatments and examinations, ward rounds, rehabilitation therapy sessions, and ward tours.

 

 

In addition, during the training period, cultural experiences and visits to medical industry institutions arranged by Gyeonggi Province are planned. Upon completion of the training, the participants will receive certificates at an official graduation ceremony.

As part of the follow-up projects after establishing healthcare cooperation, Gyeonggi Province has conducted overseas medical training programs for 850 medical professionals from 10 countries, including Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

In the latter half of this year, Gyeonggi Province plans to proceed with inviting medical professionals from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia for overseas medical training.
