NATMA EL SALVADOR MEDICAL MISSION in 2012


Date of posting 11/05/11


Our NATMA international medical mission team plans to visit El Salvador from April 14th to April 22nd, 2012, 3 days for medical mission and 3 days for touring and sightseeing.

Briefly, El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America with a population of 6 million people. With a size approximately two-thirds the size of Taiwan, El Salvador also has the 3rd largest economy per capital income in Central America, after Costa Rica and Panama. Her west border is the Pacific Ocean and east border is Honduras. El Salvador offers beautiful landscapes made of volcanoes, lakes, and ocean beaches attracting more and more visitors from US and Europe.

The health ministry of El Salvador and Taiwan Ambassador of El Salvador 陳新東 graciously welcomed our visit. The El Salvador health department has specifically requested aid including primary care physicians, anesthesiologists, urologists, ophthalmologists, and spine surgeons.

We plan to have mid size team, with approximately 25 medical personnel, to serve citizens in need in El Salvador. You are urged to join and support this noble medical mission.

The international medical mission is one of most distinguished activities sanctioned by NATMA. Our medical members have previously contributed in Haiti, Grenada, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and Belize. We serve underprivileged people by offering medical care, giving medical supplies, and providing medical education. Furthermore our tremendous efforts develop diplomatic relationship between our motherland, Taiwan, and her friendly countries. Along with providing humanitarian aid to those in need, we concurrently tour beautiful countries and experience diverse cultures.

If you have interest in participating or have any further questions regarding this medical mission, please e-mail me at hsu77@yahoo.com or call me at 909-985-2924. Together we can make the 2012 El Salvador Medical Mission a success!

 

Respectfully,
