Chin volunteer doctors treated mothers and children

22 August 2013: A group of four Chin medical doctors provided free medical check-ups, treatment and medicines to mothers and children in Cawbuk of Hakha township, Chin State.

The one-day event organized last Sunday by the Chin Women Organization (CWO) served about 50 people at Cawbuk Ward about two miles from the town centre of Hakha.

With the help of ten CWO members, the team not only treated patients and gave free medicines but also made short talks on various health issues to the locals.

Another event held at a Christian church in Hakha Khuathar on 30 August this year had about 80 people including mothers and children treated by two volunteer doctors with assistance from six CWO members.

Community-based Chin Women Organization plans to provide free medical treatment services in Khualhlun Ward of Hakha town in October 2013.

Since its formation in Hakha in October last year, CWO has been actively involved in making voluntary contribution for community-based activities and toward building a peaceful society.#
