Let’s perform HIFU surgeries globally on March 8, 2020 to celebrate International Women’s Day
|
“The World is preoccupied with fighting COVID-19, climate change and economic uncertainties. However, women’s health and wellbeing should not be overshadowed by these events. While we cannot avoid sufferings of women caused by nature and sickness, we should lessen their pain with whatever means we can provide.
We honour women with accolades like mother tongue, mother nature, mother earth and motherland. Let us pay tribute on International Women’s Day and honour women with “Mother Womb”, which is truly our very first home. Science has enabled us to conserve the womb affected by many illnesses and diseases, let us come together as medical professionals to save Mother Womb and lessen her sufferings”………

41 Chinese and overseas HIFU centers joined together and completed the world’s first live broadcasting of HIFU surgeries.
|
On 8 March, themed on “Connecting the World with Love and Preserving the Womb Despite COVID-19”, IWD-HIFU, a multi-center HIFU treatment event was initiated in Chongqing, China to celebrate the International Women’s Day. 41 Chinese and overseas HIFU centers performed and broadcasted live HIFU surgeries by connecting to the Haifu® Telemedicine Big Data Center headquartered in Chongqing.
High-intensity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU) ablation or Focused Ultrasound Ablative Surgery(FUAS) is a noninvasive therapeutic technology that concentrates the extracorporeal low-intensity ultrasound beams onto the targeted diseased tissue inside the body, resulting in an instant temperature rise at the focal point up to 60℃ to 100℃ and irreversible coagulative necrosis without damaging the surrounding healthy tissues. This technology can realize the treatment of diseases without open-cutting operations and bleeding and at the same time preserve the structure and function of the tissues and organs.………
