Shanghai hospital helps save 2-year-old Filipino boy

A Shanghai hospital has successfully performed its first liver transplant on a Filipino child, marking a milestone in medical cooperation between China and the Philippines.

Renji Hospital, affiliated with the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, said on Tuesday that the procedure was carried out in mid-February in collaboration with the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center in Manila. The 2-year-old boy's condition is steadily improving, and he is expected to be discharged later this week.

Representatives from both hospitals met in Shanghai on Monday to discuss international medical collaboration, reviewing the results of their partnership and future prospects.
