Tzu Chi Philippines wraps up 265th medical mission in Palo, Leyte
Tzu Chi volunteers just completed a successful three-day medical mission at the Leyte Provincial Hospital from July 11-13. Thirty-five beneficiaries underwent goiter surgery, while 51 patients were operated on for hernia. Among them was the little boy Yeshaa Brianna Puda, who was diagnosed with inguinal hernia. “Thank you because the Lord used you as a way for my daughter to get better,” says his mother Norvelyn Rivas.
Beneficiaries also took advantage of the free quality medical consultations and treatments from volunteer doctors of the Tzu Chi International Medical Association. General medicine practitioners saw 2,023 patients, pediatricians addressed the needs of 709 patients, obstetrician-gynecologists attended to 122 patients, and dentists worked on 1,227 patients. Eyeglasses were given to 1,111 patients, and 165 patients received acupuncture.
