The husband wife team will head to the city Newcastle with its population of over 500,000 and leave behind many fond memories of Yarrawonga and district.
Popularly known as Drs Khing and Lynn, they arrived in Australia, in 2008 from Burma where they graduated from the University of Medicine 1, Yangon, Myanmar.
Dr Khing, MBBS, FRACGP joined the Yarrawonga Medical Clinic as a Registrar in 2012. She loves her job.
“It’s my dream job! My dream country!” Dr Khing said.
“I love all the people in Yarrawonga.”
Dr Lynn commenced his career in Australia at Frankston Hospital and moved to Yarrawonga’s Denis Medical Clinic in 2012.
His special interests include skin cancer medicine and he completed advanced studies with the Skin Cancer College of Australasia and became an Accredited Skin Cancer Medicine Doctor in 2019.
Kyaw likes to keep fit with bike riding and swimming in his spare time. Swimming and badminton are favourites of Dr Khing.
Dr Khing and Dr Lynn have many friends in Newcastle and are looking forward to the much larger city.
But they have loved being rural GPs in “the beautiful town of Yarrawonga”.
Yarrawonga’s loss will be Newcastle’s gain.
