On March 2, 2016, Dr. Ohnmar, University of Medicine 1 and Dr. Mya Mya Thwin, University of Medicine 2 made a courtesy call on SU President Hiroki Yamaguchi.
Dr. Ohnmar said, ‘We need to innovate advanced medical technology into the country, and it would be possible by collaborating with Japanese universities/research organizations.’ President Yamaguchi responded, ‘SU carries scholars with wide range of research areas, and we feel obligated to become the bridge between Myanmar and Japan. Collaborating with your institutions would also contribute to the promotion of local medical industries in Saitama Prefecture.’
