TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A Taiwanese medical team will travel to Cambodia this month to provide free medical services estimated to reach around 2,000 people.

The Federation of Taiwan Pharmacists Associations (FTPA) worked with the Formosa Budding Hope Organization (FBHO), joining pharmaceutical companies to donate 70 kinds of important medicine to Siem Reap Province. In a press conference on Monday (July 22), FTPA said pharmacists associations “spared no effort in participating in international affairs in recent years,” strengthening Taiwan’s diplomacy. 

Taiwan's medical team consists of 51 members, including three doctors, five dentists, three pharmacists, seven nurses, and 33 volunteers, per CNA. They will operate in difficult-to-access, remote areas where medical supplies are most needed, FBHO said.

FBHO was created in Taiwan by "a group of friends passionate about Cambodia.” It has assisted 47,679 people in the country, according to its website.
