Midwife receiving essential medical equipment. |
Ten health care workers and midwives, who suffered the loss of all their essential medical equipment as a result of typhoon Yolanda, received new medical equipment as part of the disease prevention and health care programs of the Triple Gem Society. We are glad to be the sponsors of this project and provide the necessary funds to the Triple Gem Society. The equipment, which included weighing scales, blood pleasure monitors, glucose monitors, masks, thermometers, a pair of crutches, and infibulators was well received and greatly needed by the health care workers and allowed them to resume caring for those hardest hit by the devastating typhoon.
When the typhoon hit the fisherman's village in San Jose,
Tacloban, Philippines about 1,000 people lost their lives and thousands
of homes were washed away. Nurses and health care workers lost all their
simple but essential medical equipment. We are glad to help at least 10
of them by providing them with new equipment.
