Moral Support for Medical Heroes

Deputy Director of the Cinta Kasih Tzu Chi Hospital Dr. Deasy Thio was happy and touched by the support and attention from Tzu Chi Indonesia, both in giving medical equipment and moral support.

Attention and support continues to be given by the  Tzu Chi Indonesia to medical teams dealing with the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) in the country.

After distributing more than 1.2 million pieces of masks, 3,000 personal protective clothing, 5 ventilation units to 3 hospitals, and together with the Indonesian Ministry of Health and Indonesian Covid-19 Handling Task Force distributed more than 500,000 rapid test kits to more than 100 hospitals and 18 government agencies, now moral support is also given by Tzu Chi volunteers to those who are fighting at the forefront of handling this Covid-19 outbreak.
