Dear all,
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all our supporters for entrusting SCF with the ex*****on of another successful mission in Bodh Gaya, India. Our efforts yielded a stronger outcome than anticipated. Initially, we planned to serve approximately 4,800 patients; however, we ultimately registered 5,489 patients. The majority of these individuals received medical, pharmacy, and dental or vision services. Additionally, we served 440 students who received dental treatment exclusively.
The total number of patients seen by each department is as follows:
1. Medical: 5,400*
2. Dental: 2,324
3. Vision: 2,373
4. Prescriptions dispensed: 14,523
*Some patients opted out of medical services, as they felt they did not need them.
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to all 26 volunteers from the USA and approximately 100 Indian workers for their compassionate and tireless dedication to serving the indigent population of Bodh Gaya. Without your trust, support, and commitment, SCF would not have been able to successfully execute its mission.
SCF also received support from Minh Quang Temple (Chicago, Illinois) and Tu Viện Hồng Đức (Des Moines, Iowa) in distributing gifts to each patient who underwent the clinic process.
Five hundred twenty students from Siddhartha Compassion School received school supplies, including backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, and cash.
Let us continue to build on the momentum of love, compassion, and giving. We kindly request that you continue to support SCF as it prepares for its next mission in Vietnam in 2026, which will take place in Hue and Quang Tri. SCF is still in need of healthcare professionals, including doctors/NP/PAs, dentists, dental hygienists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and pharmacists.
