Prof. J.Chinburen, Director of the National Cancer Centre of Mongolia, has become a premium member of the French Surgery Academy named after the famous surgeon Georges Mareschal. The ‘Académie Royale de Chirurgie’ was founded in 1731 under the auspices of French king Louis XV.

Previously, only two people from Japan and Vietnam had been premium members of the French Surgery Academy in Asia; now they are joined by a Mongolian surgeon.
