Shanghai Children’s Medical Center In partnership with Wellness Advocates, dōTERRA ® China Helping Hands (the title used to describe dōTERRA Healing Hands projects in China) contributed five million RMB over four years to the National Children’s Medical Center (Shanghai Children’s Medical Center). These funds have been used to help children who have rare and complicated diseases to receive treatment. The donations also helped the hospital introduce the most advanced diagnostic tool for children’s autism, set up a database for these children, and provide educational courses for parents on improving communication with their autistic children. Madagascar Medical Clinic In 2016, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® partnered with the people of Nosy Be, Madagascar, to open a mobile health clinic in order to provide the people of Madagascar with reliable healthcare. Because the clinic is on wheels, it has offered medical help to 10 village communities. The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is thrilled to report that, in 2019, a permanent clinic was built at the Ylang Ylang distillation compound, benefitting over 500 members of the growing and harvesting cooperative. The clinic is staffed and supplied to handle more serious health issues, as well as maternity care. Additionally, the clinic serves as a distribution point for mobile clinic officers to collect supplies for their visits in outlying villages. Cooperative members pay a small monthly fee for their medical services. 80 dōTERRA HEALING HANDS FOUNDATION I ANNUAL REPORT 2019 National Autism Society of Malaysia National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) is a nongovernmental welfare organization in Malaysia, established in 1987 by a group of concerned parents and professionals.
