Dr. Jones, who is a GRS board member, UMMC vice chancellor, and American Heart Association president, hosted the DPRK medical delegation to the American Heart Association Conference. Over 25,000 medical/health professionals attended in this meeting and DPRK medical delegates had many opportunities to share their experiences with world prominent medical doctors and scientists. Dr. Jones is giving a speech about "The Challenge of Health Disparities". LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY PROJECT
In April 2004, three DPRK surgeons were trained in laparoscopic surgery at UMMC and Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. Laparoscopic equipment was then donated through GRS to Pyongyang Medical University Hospital. Five months after the DPRK surgeons returned home, they hosted a team of U.S. surgeons sponsored by GRS. The Korean and American surgeons subsequently teamed together to perform three successful laparoscopic surgeries. Since November 2004, DPRK surgeons have completed more than 500 additional laparoscopic surgeries on their own. LAPAROSCOPY TRAINING CENTER
