Forums > Living in Kunming > cataract surgery Anybody know about this in Kunming, or China, or Chiangmai or Hong Kong? Not interested in general impressions of
medical or eye care in China - after all, there are a lot of medical institutions in China, and naturally I wouldn't be interested in the ones that are not very good.
My understanding is that cataract surgery is not necessarily very complicated. Don't care if the surgeon speaks English or not.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Western-Trained, Profession Dentists in Kunming Unless your daughter has some particularly complicated condition, that seems a bit extreme. However, I've always had really good teeth, so the fact that my visits to dentists here, one of whom at least had done a year of study in Sweden, were satisfactory is probably nothing to judge by. I'm sure the one who'd studied in Sweden must have spoken English, but I can't remember about the others. Sounds like the guy in Guangzhou is a superwhiz.
Incidentally, the clinic with the Swedish-trained dentist was on Cui Yuan Road not far from the zoo, but on the other side and had some association with the dental college, but I think it's no longer there. All necessary equipment, etc.
I also know a guy who had some rather extensive dental work done in Chiangmai, which is closer that Guangzhou, and was fully satisfied. Said it wasn't too expensive, and in Chiangmai you can be pretty sure of medical/dental staff that speak English.

China hands out happy city awards, Kunming sad
发布者Social cooperation is also hard-wired into the individuals of an innately social species such as ourselves, without which the individuals of our species would not have survived to pass on any genes..Rouseau's 'noble savage' never existed, both he and Hobbes were wrong.

发布者@nnoble: don't follow - who or what is rotting? I can think of various candidates, but I'm not sure which one you're talking about.
Government sues parents to get kids back to school
发布者There are economic issues concerning education in China for very poor communities, which obviously need a bigger share of the economic pie than they are getting. Yet China's 'socialist market economy' is increasing the overall level of economic resources within China.
