Mr. Hector Conde Almetda, Ambassador, the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba to the kingdom of Thailand, visited Khon Kaen University for the purpose of building up a friendship with Khon Kaen University. During his visit on the first day we took him for a tour of our university, and later in the afternoon he gave a lecture “Cuba and Thai-Cuba relations” at the faculty of Humanity and Social Sciences. On the morning of the second day we had an official welcoming ceremony hosted by the President and the Vice President of Khon Kaen University. After the lunch hosted by Khon Kaen University, he visited the Faculty of Medicine and gave a lecture about “the Cuban Health System”. The Cuban health system is deemed to be one of the best health systems and the faculty of medicine hope to learn something to adapt to the Thai health system.

From June 28 to July 9, 2019, we invited Professor Christopher Mow from Stanford University to join our adult reconstructive orthopaedic surgery conference. While he was here, he gave lectures about Common Complications of Total Hip Replacement (THR) and Total Knee Replacement (TKR) (Including Examination Preparation); Bearing Surfaces in THR: Basic Science and Clinical Application; Femoral Revision in THR: What is the Current Status; and Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA): Indication, Technique, and Result. He also engaged in many other discussions with our Faculty of Medicine in a wide ranging area of topics, including future collaborations such as growing Faculty and Student Exchange programs and conducting clinical trials at KKU for new technologies. Although he stayed only a few weeks, he contributed so much to the Faculty and the staff in fostering collaboration and cooperation. On behalf of the Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, we thank Professor Mow for his contribution and hope to have another chance to welcome him back to KKU.
