Sichuan Benevolence Medical Foundation is a private commonweal medical charity organization newly established in the wake of the May-12 Wenchuan Earthquake and registered in the Department of Civil Affairs of Sichuan Province at the end of 2009. It is directed and supervised by the Department of Public Health of Sichuan Province. As the first commonweal medical foundation sanctioned by the Public Health Department, Benevolence takes commonweal medical charity as its core task.
Over the years, all the aspiring participants, including many medical experts and professors home and abroad, have been making dedicating efforts and silent contributions in their vocations and various public benevolent charity fields like the disabled children’s recovery, the special education and the financial aid for needy students and so on. Over many years of philanthropic practice and project management, the initiators and founders of Benevolence had gained considerable experience, and especially due to their personal participation and experience in the relief work of the Wenchuan May 12 Earthquake, they became aware of the pressing significance of establishing a systematic and professional platform. So in order to more systematically organize and mobilize more social resources and forces to engage in the cause, they together incorporated Sichuan Benevolence Medical Foundation. It is designed as a normative and integral funding platform subject to the state laws and regulations, to extend our medical charity aids in the past. And we hope to use the platform to integrate more medical charity resources home and abroad and apply them to the neediest people and the most urgent programs feasibly and effectively. In this way, we are determined to help the nation out of difficulties and meanwhile promote the Chinese virtues of fraternity and kindness.
