COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

East Timor Social Work

Our medical team at LinC Aesthetic Clinic is committed to serving the community. Our friendliness and excellent service is extended to the people around us. we cross borders to do our work in Timor Leste (East Timor).

In 2006, Dr Patrina Wong went on a medical trip to the wonderful land of Timor Leste. The aim was to cooperate with the local doctors to reach out to a bigger community of people to provide medical aid.
The friendships that were formed with the medical professionals are still going strong till today.

In March 2008, the compassion for the TL people continues. Dr Wong made another medical trip to TL, this time venturing deeper into the land, away from the capital Dili, and up in the mountainous range of Maubisse, Edi, and Hato Builico. The team was so privileged to meet with some important contacts working in the hospital and government agencies, where we can foster a deeper relationship and cross cultural and cross exchange of skills and ideas. We conducted mini Polyclinics, made shift clinics to accommodate simple medical consultations and dispensing of medicines. The people there were appreciative of our love for them. We in turn learnt so much from them – the resilience of harsh natural elements, the care and bonding for one another. We gained so much insight into the strength of the people of Timor Leste.
