EMERGENCY IN ZOKHAWTHAR!!!

While on our annual visitation to the India/Burma border this year a young Mom was rushed into the Medical Mercy Canada Clinic on the India/Burma border with a potential miscarriage occurring.  Brought in by taxi with family members her husband carries her into the Clinic.  Our team quickly pointed her in the direction of the treatment room.  She is attended to by Dr. Zauva.  Unfortunately she is having a miscarriage.  Dr. Zauva provides her with the necessary medical care to ensure her safety and is not in immediate danger.  The following pictures show her being attended to by our nursing team to enhance her recovery.  This little blog and series of pictures amplify the value of our Medical Centers along the India/Burma border.  Without the Clinics these desperately poor people would have to attend to these emergencies in their own homes without the aid of any professionally trained medical staff.  Our Clinics provide the environment for these patients to be properly cared for and potentially save lives.

​MMC’s Medical Clinics along the India/Burma border operate much like a walk-in clinic here in Canada.  They treat patients for everything from miscarriages like this lady to malaria, burns, broken limbs, diabetes, colds, and the hundreds of other ailments that we all have.  Without our free clinics many of these people would not receive the medical care that they require to lead healthy productive lives.
Medical Mercy Canada has been working with displaced Chin people fleeing the severe oppression of the Military Government in Burma since 2002.  In 2005 a permanent Clinic was established in Zokhawthar along the India/Burma border and in 2006 a permanent Clinic established in nearby Champhai.  Year round free medical, medicines, and health aid has been provided in these two communities since those dates.  The budget for the Burma/India Project is currently $35,000 Canadian.  We are able to provide medical care to over 13,000 patients a year; all free of charge including any medicine required to bring the patient back to full health.  Think about it, that is treating patients for under $3Cdn/patient.  The bang for the buck is incredible in these destitute and under-privileged areas.  We are in desperate need of funds to keep this clinic operational and continue to provide aid to these incredibly poor people.  Please consider donating to this very worthwhile cause.
