Dear Friends of Medicine for Tibet:
Your support has made so much possible. Over the last few years the funds donated by generous people and raised by MFT have been used to purchase the medicines needed for running the centre and in training two Tibetan women to become practitioners in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine.
The recent earthquake on April 14, 2010 in the Quinghai State of Tibet in China, shook Yushu, the district where Medicine for Tibet's Beneficial For All Medical Centre, was built. The devastation has been massive - 85% of all structures in Yushu district were flattened. The Beneficial For All Medical Centre and its 4WD vehicle have been destroyed. Over 2200 people have died, with more bodies being discovered daily. More than 12,000 people have been injured. Many Tibetans are homeless without shelter in freezing conditions at 4,000 meters above sea level. They lack adequate food, water and medical care. The situation is dire.
