- Title
- Burma surgeon's hospital threatened.
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: P-30519 BURMA SURGEON'S HOSPITAL THREATENED NAMKHAN, Burma -- The famous "Burma Surgeon," Dr. Gordon S. Seagrave, 66, has pledged to "fight on to the very end" in a struggle to keep his Baptist Hospital at Namkhan, Burma, operating. New government restrictions, spurred by a drive toward greater nationalization, have seriously affected his medical activity in the country's northern hills. Two of Dr. Seagrave's assistants were finding it difficult to remain in Burma because of an edict revoking permits for foreign doctors and the government's withdrawal of a $10,000 annual grant to the hospital. In Rangoon, two other mission hospitals were closed by the government. Friends have reported that the famed Burma Surgeon, though showing signs of strain from his many years of service, has vowed to keep his institution in operation. Though an American citizen, Dr. Seagraves is not affected by the drive against foreign doctors because he was born in Burma. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-1D-64-NBM)
