KUANTAN: The Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital here has successfully operated on a centenarian, probably the first in Pahang or even the country.

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr V.A. Jacob Abraham performed the surgery on Nov 14 last year by inserting a plate in the right thigh of a 104-year-old woman, who had suffered a femur fracture.
