Has the Chinese once again surpass or outpace us in terms of medical studies & research?
It was featured on the TFC program the Correspondent episode with Karen Davila entitled "gamot sa salot" which pertain to cancer diseases. Right now the Chinese are the one have the edge in cryosurgery at Fuda, China. So what is cryosurgery all about? Cryosurgery is a technique for freezing and killing abnormal cells. It is used to treat some kinds of cancer and some precancerous or noncancerous conditions, and can be used both inside the body and on the skin .Cryosurgery is an alternative to surgery for liver cancer that has not spread, for cancer that has spread to the liver from another site, for prostate cancer confined to the prostate gland, for a precancerous condition of the cervix, and for cancerous and noncancerous tumors of the bone Cryosurgery may have fewer side effects than other types of treatments, and is less expensive and requires shorter recovery times The technique is still under study, and its long-term effectiveness is not known. This research is being applied in China for the past 10 years, yet still unknown in the Philippines. Why? That is why everybody is going to China for the treatment of cancer. European and even Filipinos who have money. Because the treatment is quite expensive. A package deal consist of $20,000. with complete treatment and a medicine injection that guarantee that the cancer cell will not resurface once again. Which most victims claim much better than what the Philippines doctors usually recommend the chemo and the radiaction treatment which kills even the good cell. I am really surprise about this episode because I thought Filipino doctors are good in terms of medical research and studies. But after this, I think otherwise. We are being outpace by Chinese doctors maybe not only in cryosurgery but a lot of things concerning medical research either cancerous cells or viruses. What is wrong with our medical field? We run out of money? The Philippine government is not funding the Philippine medical research? Maybe 3-7 years from now even the Koreans or Malaysian doctors have the edge in medical studies too. NAIWAN NA TALAGA TAYO SA PANSITAN. With all the cheating in nursing profession and other fields, who would believe Filipinos are good now a days. Nakakapanghinaan ng luob watching the development of other countries na hindi tayo kasama. What is happening to our country?

Medical research? What's that? Does it exist in the Philippines? Whatever medicine, procedures and medical equipment we have (except for the handful of herbal-based supplements that are originally Pinoy), are a result of research abroad --- mostly American, plus medical experts from other developed nations. China is catching up real fast. The AH1N1 vaccine is out in the US, and less than a year in the making. On the other hand, Dengue is usually a problem in the tropics, and not an American disease. Although it is not transmitted from person-to-person and thus not likely a cause of a pandemic, it is nevertheless a deadly virus. We Filipinos should have come up with the solution already, including a vaccine. But noooo, because we don't have the facilities, or doctor-scientists, even if we have good doctors in our hospitals to deal with after-the-fact problems. If we are waiting for the US or other nations to come up with a dengue vaccine, it should not take too long for them, but still they will take forever to do it, as their own countrymen won't benefit from it, and the drugs won't sell, not on a worldwide basis anyway. They are still corporations, in existence to make money, money that will go to further research. What major drug company do we have in the Philippines that won't just sell generics, but will undertake such research? None.

Are you joking? Have you ever been to a hospital in China? I have been many times and have mostly had bad experiences. I went to one Chinese hospital to visit a Briton who had a broken clavicle and they had him in dirty bed in a hallway because the wards, which are more like warehouses, were full. The Filipino physicians I have seen have been western-trained and very competent.
