During the examination and inpatient treatment at the hospital, we found that there were many patients with serious illnesses who were in extremely difficult circumstances, many patients were from remote areas, ethnic minority areas, people with disabilities, and disadvantaged people, who could not afford to pay for hospital fees and travel and accommodation expenses... Sharing with those difficult circumstances, hospital staff directly supported and donated to help them reduce the burden of illness and ease some of their difficulties.
