Medical Mission
UNIFEM Singapore began its first community project in Bintan in 1998 to help distressed families in the wake of the Asian financial crisis of 1997 and 1998. There were a total of six medical trips to the islands. Once every 2-3 months a party of 10-12 dental surgeons, 6-8 medical specialists, some nurses and other volunteers would spend the entire weekend at various locations on Bintan and the surrounding islands. During each trip the doctors would see between 400-800 patients on an average. The dentists in turn attended to over 200-250 patients per trip.
