New Delhi – Famous actor Kyaw Thu, who was helping cyclone victims, has been hospitalised in Rangoon.
Ko Kyaw Thu (48), leader of the Free Funeral Service charity group and a leading Burmese actor, has been hospitalised at 'Panhlaing' private hospital since the 14th of this month, after complaining of uneasiness during his 'Pyin' district tour in Irrawaddy Division.
"He usually suffers like that when he is under stress. He is also suffering from an enlarged heart, enlarged liver and hypertension. His habit of smoking and an unhealthy diet has affected his health," Daw Shwe Zigwet, his wife, said.
"He was sweating and his hands and feet were cold, when we reached Pathein during his tour to 'Pyin' district. Then he had to be hospitalised," a person who accompanied him on his tour to help the cyclone victims in Irrawaddy Division said.
He will be discharged from hospital after two more days and would proceed to 'Titukone' village in 'Pyin' district, where he is supervising construction of a middle school, which could accommodate 620 students.
His charity group, the Free Funeral Service', is continuing relief work in Amar Kunmu in Bogale Township and in Hmawdaw near Kyaiktaw.
