Taipei Main Station Chief also willing to make the free clinic happen with TIMA
There was a row of tables set out on the first floor of Taipei Main Station for providing foreign labor with free medical consultancy in many different specialties.
Professional dental equipment was set on the tables at the station hall, which makes it more convenient for foreign workers who usually gathered there for medical advice. This has also attracted many other foreign workers to approach and be consulted.
In the free clinic, any physical sickness will have instant answers. Some foreign friends also joined Tzu Chi as translation volunteers to do interpretation work for those who are worried about the language barrier. "There is no need for registration or spending any money, so I’m very grateful, thank you" said a Filipino foreign worker. "I hope when I go back to Jakarta, I will become a Tzu Chi volunteer" said one Indonesian foreign worker.

"Taiwanese society and foreign workers are more and more inter-dependent today, and caring for foreign friend's health is actually indirectly emphasizing the happiness of both the elderly and our youth" said Lee, Yung-Sang, Taiwan Railway station Chief.
The free clinics provide medical consultancy with over 10 kinds of specialties. Tzu Chi volunteers have been putting themselves into the shoes of foreign workers, and given them our most sincere care and welcome with open arms.
