Myanmarese seek entry into India for medical treatment
K Sarojkumar Sharma, TNN | Feb 20, 2012, 06.10 AM IST | Imphal :
Myanmarese officials have requested their Indian counterparts to permit their country's citizens to get medical treatment in India. Though the citizens of Myanmar are not permitted to enter Imphal without valid documents, some of them living in Tamu and Namphalong occasionally visit hospitals in the border town of Moreh in Manipur's Chandel district during their permissible time to enter India.
During the fourth Indo-Myanmar border liaison officers' meeting convened on Thursday at Moreh Trade Centre, the Myanmarese delegation urged its Indian counterpart to permit Myanmarese citizens to get themselves treated in India as the advanced medical facilities available here are unavailable on their side, a source said.
Once the Myanmarese citizens are allowed to visit Manipur for treatment, the state's health tourism will improve and the business of sophisticated hospitals in Imphal will also grow.
The Myanmarese officials also expressed gratitude to the Indian staff who imparted English language classes to the Myanmarese in November and December last year.
