YOMA-OUE Pun Hlaing Hospitals Commemorates 66 Successful Renal Transplants, Highlighting Clinical Thought Leadership and Integrated Care in Myanmar

Yangon, Myanmar – 5 August 2026 – YOMA-OUE Pun Hlaing Hospitals (“YOPHH”) hosted a special Commemorative Dinner at The Strand Hotel to celebrate a landmark achievement in local healthcare: the successful completion of 66 kidney transplant procedures as of 4 August 2026 since establishing the program in 2024. The event brought together senior management, leading clinicians, partner institutions, and patients to honorthe dedication and institutional strength behind this life-saving program.

Operating in full compliance with the Ministry of Health’s guidelines and internationally established ethical standards, YOPHH continues to fulfill its vision of building a better Myanmar for its People. By offering high-complexity surgeries locally, the hospital enables patients with end-stage renal failure to receive world-class treatment peacefully at home, surrounded by their families, without needing to seek medical care abroad.

As a Joint Commission International (“JCI”)-accredited network, YOPHH prioritises patient safety, rigorous clinical governance, and international standards. Hospital leaders emphasised during the gathering that kidney transplantation is one of healthcare's most complex challenges, requiring far more than surgical precision alone.

Achieving the milestone of 66 successful kidney transplants reflects the dedication and seamless collaboration of the entire organisation, as well as the trust that patients place in our clinicians and institution. Behind every procedure is an integrated network of professionals, including lead surgeons, nephrologists, specialised nurses, logistics, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, rehabilitation, support staff, and housekeeping — all working continuously around the clock to ensure safe, seamless patient outcomes. To streamline treatment, YOPHH’s Nephrology & Urology Service Line provides a complete end-to-end pathway, from initial diagnostic testing and chronic kidney disease management to surgery and post-transplant recovery. Patients can consult for kidney-related conditions at any Pun Hlaing Hospital or Clinic location nationwide, with specialised transplant procedures centralised at Pun Hlaing Hospital - Hlaing Tharyar.

Reflecting on the milestone, Dr. Zaw Win Sandy, CEO of Yoma-OUE Pun Hlaing Hospitals, emphasised that renal transplantation represents far more than a medical procedure—it restores hope, dignity, and the opportunity for patients and their families to lead fuller lives. She reaffirmed the Group’s commitment to strengthening Myanmar’s healthcare system by building sustainable clinical capabilities through trusted international collaborations, ensuring world-class transplant care remains accessible within the country for generations to come.

With a nationwide network of Yoma-OUE Pun Hlaing Hospitals, Clinics, and HEAL by Pun Hlaing Application, kidney patients across Myanmar can conveniently access consultations, follow-up care, and ongoing support closer to home at every stage of their treatment journey.

By adhering strictly to Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”) set by the Ministry of Health, YOPHH’s operations team remains dedicated to delivering safe, timely, and compassionate care to patients across Myanmar.
