#JamaicaGleaner #BellevueHospital #Psychiatry #Psychiatrist #MentalHealth #Burma #Myanmar MARCH 2, 2023: Journeying to Jamaica 32 years ago to take up a job as a psychiatrist is one risk that Burmese national Dr Myo Kyaw Oo took for which he harbours no regrets. 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.
