Pekhon 20 February
A local social organization and Shwe Parami Healthcare Foundation, established by a prominent Buddhist monk Ashin Sandadika, jointly offered free healthcare services to local people at a religious building in Pekhon Township, Southern Shan State.
An ophthalmology team conducted medical check-ups for 4,636 patients during the three-day period from 17 to 19 February. Out of the patients who have been given healthcare services by the medical team, 94 were transferred to a 500-bed public hospital in Loikaw as they are found to be performed surgery. Eye patients have been provided with glasses.
Medical cost was covered by Shwe Parami Healthcare Foundation while food and management matters were executed by the local social organization named “Shwe Dhamma Yaungchi Foundation”.—Ko Htwe (IPRD)
