I participated in "Leprosy Control and Basic Health Service Project in Myanmar" by JICA from 2002 to 2004. I went to Myanmar three times as a short-term expert of physiotherapy. I carried out evaluation training for physio staffs in national Yenanthar leprosy hospital. They learned how to evaluate activity of daily living. And they were able to make modified spoons and the canes. Later, they looked for the contents to evaluate by themselves. And they evaluated and decided by themselves what they should do. They felt the necessity for toilet chairs, modified beds and etc. They formed the plan and manufactured them. They were able to perform by themselves. It is thought that evaluation was fixed to staffs. This knowledge will surely be helpful to patients. I expect that this knowledge will be put to evaluations and exercises of many diseases. The physio staffs of this hospital will surely perform. Cooperation of the shoemaker and nursing staffs is very secure. I hope that it may become the model of saying [working in cooperation with other occupational descriptions] from now on.
2002年至2004年，我参加了日本国际协力机构（JICA）在缅甸开展的“麻风病防治与基本医疗服务项目”。作为物理治疗方面的短期专家，我三次前往缅甸。我在仰光国立麻风病医院为物理治疗工作人员开展了评估培训。他们学习了如何评估日常生活活动能力。并且他们能够制作改良汤匙和手杖。后来，他们自行寻找评估内容。并自行评估并决定该做什么。他们意识到需要马桶椅、改良床等。他们制定计划并制造了这些器具。他们能够独立完成。可以认为评估已落实到工作人员身上。这些知识肯定会对患者有所帮助。我期望这些知识能应用于多种疾病的评估和治疗中。这家医院的物理治疗工作人员肯定会有所作为。鞋匠与护理人员的合作非常稳固。我希望从现在起它能成为[与其他职业协作开展工作]的典范。
