About Project
Pet Yiey Chi is more than a place for medical treatment. It is a place where people experiencing illness, disability, poverty, or limited access to healthcare can receive care, compassion, and dignity.
The project combines regular healthcare with rehabilitation and community outreach. For patients recovering from stroke and other physical conditions, regular physiotherapy and acupuncture have helped improve mobility, physical function, independence, and quality of life.
Rather than waiting for vulnerable people to reach the health center, KBO also brings services closer to communities through rural medical visits and medical missions.
“Healthcare is not only about treating illness—it is about restoring hope, dignity, and the ability to live well.”
🎯 Goal: To improve access to quality healthcare, rehabilitation, preventive services, and compassionate support for vulnerable people and communities.
🤝 Mission: To accompany people in need with accessible healthcare, rehabilitation, health education, nutrition support, and community outreach, helping individuals and families achieve better health, independence, and well-being.
