November 16, 2013 18:00 – 20:00 Stanford Center at Peking University, Langrun Yuan, Peking University
You are cordially invited to a special event to celebrate the tenth year that the Beijing International Committee for Chinese Orphans (BICCO) has brought distinguished pediatric orthopedic surgeons from the U.S. to perform pro bono surgeries for orphans and poor children in China.
Each year the medical mission includes pro bono surgeries for orphans, free medical consultations and exchanges of medical knowledge with Chinese doctors at professional symposia. In prior years at hospitals in Tianjin, Beijing, Yantai, Linyi, Ningbo, Chongqing, Lanzhou and Dunhuang the doctors have given nearly 2,300 free consultations and lectured to over 1,200 Chinese doctors and have performed over 450 surgeries and procedures, including complicated surgeries for scoliosis and, for the first time in China, surgeries to treat a rare and crippling condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease. The doctors coming to China this year are Dr. James Gamble, Dr. Lawrence Rinsky, Dr. Jaime Lopez, and Dr. Ivan Cheng from the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at the Stanford University Medical Center. During their stay in Yantai the doctors will collaborate with the Yantai Hospital to perform surgeries for 30 – 40 orphans and other children suffering from scoliosis and other orthopedic conditions.
This reception is being kindly supported with a donation from the Stanford Hospitals and Clinics.
