Saint Luke Society Korea conducted a field visit to the Philippines on December 21st and 22nd in preparation for the Healing Hands medical outreach, which is scheduled to take place in February 2023 in collaboration with the local hospital in Manila, Philippines.
The representative of SLS Korea Dr. Shin Myung Seop and director Jeong Chung-shin visited Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, where medical outreach will be conducted, and had a meeting with the hospital officials. In the meeting, Dr. Shin gave a presentation on Healing Hands describing its purpose and foundation, followed by a presentation on the procedural plans for the medical mission.
The hospital officials expressed their willingness to offer help for the successful medical mission based on their own past experiences of conducting medical outreach. The medical departments to be operated in February include internal medicine, dentistry, dermatology, oriental medicine, and pharmacy. It is expected that 1000 patients will be treated during the 2-day medical mission.
SLS gives thanks to the Lord for the opportunity to serve people in Manila with the help of the local medical staff and officials. SLS is requesting prayer for the smooth preparation of the Healing Hands.
