Dr. Thida Win

Dr. Thida Win is a cardiologist at Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital in Yangon, one of Myanmar's most modern private hospitals operated in partnership with Siloam Hospitals Group. With 12 years of experience in cardiology, she provides non-invasive cardiac assessment and general cardiology management for patients in Myanmar's growing private healthcare sector.

Dr. Thida trained at the University of Medicine 2 Yangon before completing her cardiology postgraduate training. She has developed particular expertise in echocardiography and non-invasive cardiac assessment, providing diagnostic services for the full range of cardiac conditions encountered in Myanmar.

Myanmar carries a significant burden of rheumatic heart disease — a legacy of streptococcal infection and limited access to penicillin prophylaxis in earlier decades — and Dr. Thida has considerable experience managing valvular complications of this condition. She also manages the rising prevalence of hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease in Myanmar's urbanizing population.

She works collaboratively with Thailand and Singapore-based interventional cardiologists for patients requiring coronary angioplasty or structural heart procedures, facilitating referrals through Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital's international network.

Dr. Thida earned her MBBS from the University of Medicine 2 Yangon and completed her cardiology postgraduate training and Diploma in Cardiology through Myanmar's medical specialist system. She holds a Certificate in Echocardiography, reflecting her primary area of clinical focus.

She has participated in advanced echocardiography training workshops and cardiac imaging courses through the Myanmar Cardiac Society and regional cardiology associations, including programs in Thailand and Singapore. These regional training opportunities have been important for Myanmar cardiologists to develop echocardiography expertise in settings where local training resources are limited.

Dr. Thida's clinical focus is non-invasive cardiology, centred on echocardiographic assessment. She performs transthoracic echocardiography for evaluation of ventricular function, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, and congenital heart lesions.

Her general cardiology practice covers hypertension management, heart failure (medical management), atrial fibrillation including anticoagulation, rheumatic heart disease monitoring, and coronary artery disease risk stratification. She performs ECG interpretation, Holter monitoring, and exercise stress testing.

For patients requiring invasive procedures such as coronary angiography or PCI, she coordinates referrals to higher-level centres within Myanmar or to Bangkok or Singapore.

Dr. Thida is primarily focused on clinical cardiology practice in Myanmar's private healthcare sector. She contributes to continuing medical education through Myanmar Cardiac Society activities, including case presentations, clinical update seminars, and cardiology workshops. She has presented clinical cases at Myanmar Cardiac Society meetings, highlighting echocardiographic findings in rheumatic heart disease and the management challenges of heart failure in the Myanmar context. She contributes to internal clinical quality improvement at Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital and has been involved in developing hospital-specific cardiology management protocols for common conditions in Myanmar's patient population.

Dr. Thida consults international patients and expatriates at Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital, which provides English-speaking medical staff and international-standard cardiology services. She consults in Burmese and English. The hospital serves Yangon's substantial expatriate community — including NGO workers, diplomats, and business travelers — requiring cardiac assessment and management. Video consultations are available for cardiac second opinions, echocardiogram interpretation discussions, and follow-up care for patients who have returned abroad. Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital facilitates international referral pathways for patients requiring interventional cardiology or cardiac surgery at centers in Bangkok or Singapore.

Dr. Thida has been recognized by Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital for her contributions to developing cardiology services and for her expertise in echocardiography and rheumatic heart disease management within Myanmar's private healthcare sector. She is an active member of the Myanmar Cardiac Society and the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology, participating in regional cardiology educational programs and attending scientific meetings in Thailand and Singapore. She contributes to cardiovascular health education programs in Myanmar, including public awareness initiatives on hypertension management and heart disease prevention, and has been acknowledged for facilitating international cardiac referral pathways for Myanmar patients through the hospital's regional network.
