菲律宾幼童前往中国接受肝脏移植手术 2025-02-05
A one-year-and-nine-month-old Filipino child battling a rare liver disease traveled to China's Shanghai for a liver transplant surgery, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian said Tuesday.
"Medicine knows no borders. A one-year-and-nine-month-old Filipino child battling Biliary Atresia, a rare liver disease, is heading to China for a liver transplant surgery. This marks the first liver transplant surgery for a Filipino child with this condition in China," Huang said in a social media post.
Huang thanked Filipino civic leader Teresita Ang See for referring the patient. Ang See has established a referral system for liver transplant patients from the Philippines to Shanghai-based Renji Hospital.
Huang said the cooperation "highlights the friendship" between the two countries.
