It was a very successful mission where we saw and treated if needed 431 patients that would not have the benefit of being seen by a physician if it weren't for this team. We provided free medications as needed for treatment and also Vitamins to girls and women between the age of 12-45 thanks to a grant from Vitamin Angels.....
By now we are sure that you are all well aware of the Humanitarian crisis posed by Rohingya refugees coming from Myanmar to Cox's Bazar area of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Government has been very gracious to accept the refugees but their resources are limited. It is a small Country with a huge population to care for.
