Funeral and cremation services:
Families of patients who die at Mae Tao Clinic may not have the funds to cover the costs for a funeral or for transport of the body back home. Mae Tao Clinic provides funds to either assist families to return the body home or conduct a small funeral at MTC. We collaborate with Mae Sot Hospital for the management of the bodies of deceased clients. MTC also provides a death certificate for the deceased.
Support of Amputees:
The prosthetic department provides employment and rehabilitation services for amputees whose injuries make it difficult to find employment.
Cultural celebrations, sports events, and health campaigns:
The clinic regularly organises community events around important, traditional festivals and holidays. This is done in recognition of the importance of such events in strengthening community ties and providing a chance for friends and families to get together. In a situation where families are frequently separated and people face daily threats to their personal safety, these celebrations are important for people’s mental well being.
