After the two-month-long brutal battle for KIA’s HQ Laiza Burma
Army has now peacefully camped down in the area around Laiza as the uneasy
peace negotiations are slowly progressing under Chinese patronage in the
Chinese border town of Shweli (Ruili).
Following the army’s long-running tradition of providing essential
medical treatment to the poor locals in the remote and war-torn places Burmese
soldiers normally found themselves in, the army-surgeons and experienced army-medics
from the battle-hardened LID-99 (99
th Light Infantry Division) have
been providing urgently needed medical care to the local Kachins.
While the heavily-armed riflemen of LID-99’s Light Infantry
Battalions are watching the restless KIA armed-insurgents now being haplessly trapped
in Laiza with nowhere else to flee their medical comrades are now treating the
local Kachin brothers who have been living too bloody long under the heavy yoke
of KIA insurgents who have always neglected the welfare of their own Kachin
people.

Burma Army's Meikhtilar-based LID-99’s front-line soldier-doctors and medics are now taking
care of the health of local Kachins living in the Dawd-phone-yang Township. The
township hospital was basically abandoned for a while because of KIA threats
against government’s Burmese doctors and nurses working there before.
Nowadays Fifteen to Thirty Kachin patients from the small
town and the surrounding villages are gladly attending the Dawd-phone-yang
hospital every day and happily receiving the tender loving care from LID-99’s
doctors and medics. Only people missing in the small hospital are female army nurses
as Burma army still doesn’t allow women officers to serve on the front line like KIA-infested
Laiza.
According to the Burmese Chief-Surgeon from the LID-99’s Front-line HQ an
elderly Kachin patient suffering from appendicitis recently was urgently operated
by himself on March 18 and patient’s life has been saved and he is now slowly
recovering in the said Dawd-phone-yang hospital.
