Medical
Teams Visit Zadoh
Gaden
Relief sent a medical team to Zadoh in August, 2001. Led by Dr.
Robbie Chase and Zasep Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Gaden Relief,
the team spent three weeks in the Zadoh area. The main objectives
of the trip were to conduct a door-to-door health assessment of
the area, to provide primary health care services, and to review
construction of the new Jamseng Health Clinic.
Also
on the agenda were visits to Dzogchen Monastery, Dechen Nunnery,
Tashi Lhapug Monastery, and Zuru Monastery. The team delivered
funds for construction and other purposes. Drugs donated by Novopharms
Canadian Medicine Aid Program, by John Rumball and the Canadian
International Medicine Aid Program, and by Dr. Len Levine of Ottawa,
were delivered also.
