Ninth Free Clinic in the Philippines

The ninth free clinic in the Philippines took place between July 24 and
26 in the city of Cagayan de Oro, provincial capital of Misamis Oriental.
This time, 114 medical staff and volunteers from Taiwan and the
Philippines treated 5,033 patients, the largest number in all the free
clinics so far.

Fishermen in nearby islets and farmers in mountainous areas have a
difficult life and must frequently postpone medical treatment.

Sister Tzu Chien, in charge of the Philippine branch, remarked that with
the opening of their own office in August, all the medicine and medical
equipment that were scattered in members' homes could be brought
together in one place, making it easier to carry out clinical services.
