As the Mackay medical vehicle arrived in Korosten, Ukraine, local media outlet KorostenTV produced a special feature documenting this medical team from Taiwan.
During Mackay Memorial Hospital's seventh humanitarian medical mission to Ukraine, the team established a mobile hospital at a local volunteer center, providing professional medical services. Amidst the shadow of war, the sight of Taiwanese and Ukrainian healthcare workers collaborating side by side became a local news highlight.
Key Points from Local Media Coverage:
Sustained Commitment — The report emphasized that the Mackay medical team has visited Ukraine multiple times. Dr. Tsai Wei-Te, Director of the International Medical Services Center, stated in an interview: "We have developed deep connections here and hope to continue giving back to this land."
Comprehensive Medical Care — This mission included physicians from cardiology, dentistry, oral surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine providing multidisciplinary care. The Taiwan Root Medical Peace Corps accompanied the team, ensuring that every contribution from Taiwan was effectively implemented in Ukrainian medical aid.
Medical Knowledge Transfer — Media captured scenes of the Mackay team mentoring local medical interns during consultations, not only providing medical services but also transferring professional techniques and experience.
"They are very professional and attentive, even considering needs we didn't voice," a patient expressed gratefully on camera—the most precious affirmation for the team.
This humanitarian medical program, jointly promoted by Mackay Memorial Hospital, the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine (CMA), and the Taiwan Root Medical Peace Corps, has reached nine administrative regions across Ukraine, serving over 2,000 patients. Mackay not only provides medical expertise but also delivers a steadfast commitment that "Taiwan stands with Ukraine."
