2025 CCH Medical Mission Joins with Thailand’s Overbrook Hospital to Bring Love to Northern Thai Communities!
The medical mission team from Changhua Christian Hospital (CCH) once again partnered with the medical team of Overbrook Hospital (OBH) in Chiang Rai, Thailand. From November 23 to 29, 2025, the team traveled deep into four remote border communities in Northern Thailand, delivering essential medical services to those who need them most. Over four days, the mission provided free consultations to nearly 2,300 patients!
The CCH medical mission—led by Dr. Nina Kao, CEO of the Overseas Medical Mission Center—included specialists in otolaryngology, dentistry, orthopedics, neurosurgery, traditional Chinese medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, Ms. Wu Ling-Ying, the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s representative stationed in Malaysia, traveled from Malaysia to Northern Thailand to join the healthcare service team.
Beyond clinical services at rural health centers, the team also visited nearby schools to conduct health-promotion activities such as hand-washing and tooth-brushing education, improving children’s health literacy. Stationery and toys collected through donations were personally delivered to students—bringing both health knowledge and heartfelt encouragement to children in remote Northern Thai communities.
On the final day, the team visited Overbrook Hospital and its historical exhibition hall. The OBH President personally shared the hospital’s future direction and vision for healthcare development. This exchange deepened the mutual understanding of CCH and OBH’s shared mission and goals, laying a strong foundation for continued collaboration and partnership in the years ahead.
