Bellevue dedicates oasis to retiring SMO who took leap of faith from Burma

He has since become a Jamaican citizen and brought his Burmese wife to Jamaica, where they raised two daughters. In November 2022, Oo will officially retire from government service and the Bellevue Hospital in Kingston, bringing the curtain down on a career, which, he said, if he should go back in time, he would not have wanted it any other way than being in Jamaica.
