As the coronavirus pandemic is still going strong in Taiwan, temporary housing of NIA in Kaohsiung has implemented various anti-virus measures. The personnel of Yong-An District Public Health Center was invited to give regular vaccination services to people living in temporary housing. Besides, Dr. Wu Zong Qing (吳宗慶) was also invited to provide medical services. Interpretation services were also available to overcome language barriers between the doctor and foreign nationals.
If there is an urgent need for medical treatment, the Kaohsiung temporary housing also assists them in receiving treatment in the nearby hospitals. For example, Ah Hao from Vietnam didn't care about the wounds on his feet at first. However, temporary housing personnel found that the wound was red, swollen, and inflamed.
He was then sent to the hospital for treatment, and it was a bacterial infection that caused cellulitis. If it worsens, there may be a risk of amputation. A Hao is very grateful to the NIA temporary housing for this so that he can return to his home country in good health condition.
