Education OHI Style

Teaching is the principal function of Open Heart International in Myanmar. We provide numerous lectures and hands on work shops. At the same time, we are there in cardiac theatres, the cath lab, and wards. Importantly, we work along side the Myanmar health practitioners, and provide them with quality assurance. Teaching them smarter methods to adopt, and help rescue arising complications. All this is done in a respectful and Australian manner.
