Charitable Health Care

As a registered charity, it is Men-Tsee-Khang policy to provide free medicine to Tibetans over the age of seventy, to new Tibetan refugees for the first six months, and to poor or desitute Tibetans (the respective Settlement/Welfare Officer in the refugee settlement determines whether a Tibetan is poor or destitute). Concessional medicine is provided to monks, nuns and students.
