Burma revisited
Abstract:
The author, who had spent a year with a mobile field hospital in Burma in 1944 during World War II, was able to visit Rangoon for 5 days in 1977 with the assistance of a grant from the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. Some impressions of life in Burma today are given, especially in relation to the problem of providing an anaesthetic service for the main hospitals in Rangoon and the work of Professor Win Maung, FFARCS and his University department. The author also describes some of the aid which it has been possible to organise since his return to the United Kingdom and outlines requirements for the future.
