Taiwan's international charity medical program is on the spotlight again by delivering love to Myanmar. The 11-year-old girl, Let from Myanmar had Goldenhar syndrome and came to Taiwan last August for medical treatment, with NTD3 million sponsored by Pou Chen Group. Having undergone 7 months of surgical treatment, Let has improved her previous blurry vision and rebuilt her beautiful right year, completing the treatment for that stage. Let received blessings from everyone with joy before returning to her country and she said “thank you, Taiwan” and “thank you all” heartedly in Mandarin Chinese.

She was initially helped by Christian International Holistic Care Missionary Association that sought for medical treatment in Taiwan, which underwent the joint cooperation between TAITRA and CMUH International Medical Service Center, with the sponsorship by Pou Chen Group for medical fundraising before accomplishing this mission. The different departments attended the press conference with enthusiasm, giving Let most blessings and encouragement to jointly witness the medical miracle of love.

Yang gave thumbed up for the power of mother's love between Let and her mother. Pou Chen Group Chairman Lu-Ming Zhan expressed his pleasure to see Let becoming happier each day and that she could recover her happy life, which makes everything worthwhile. Over the years, Pou Chen Group pursed for “profits with quality” and the so-called quality does not only refer to products manufactured but also includes the quality requirement in the administration and management of the group as well as the quality requirement in corporate culture. Such concept is fully reflected in the international charity medical program that helped Let. TAITRA Secretary General Ming-Shui Ye stated that the power of love can cross the border and break language barrier.
