Kyaw Thein is a dedicated hematologist with a deep commitment to compassionate, culturally sensitive patient care. Growing up and training in Myanmar’s tertiary hospitals, Thein gained invaluable experience in diverse socioeconomic environments, fostering a strong desire to heal and serve underprivileged communities. This early exposure shaped his positive outlook on life and career in medicine.
“I learned that patients need above and beyond the simple prescription; they need justifications, assurances and hope. They need doctors to help instill in them the will and the urge to carry on. I saw in patients the courage to brave pain, to live with pain, to find joy in each waking moment of life and to wake up each morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead,” Thein said.
With a passion for teaching, Thein is committed to mentoring young physicians while continuing his work as a clinician-investigator.
