"Safety comes first. Although there has been a preliminary screening to decide which cases are suitable to come to the clinic for surgery, still the doctors do an in-person evaluation of the risks of surgery," says Dr. Fong Poh Him. Outside, just in case, two ambulances are waiting. If a severe emergency arises, the patient can be sent to a nearby hospital, which has more complete emergency-care facilities.
「安全第一，雖然事先已篩選了適於在義診現場開刀的病例，但醫師們仍會臨床評估手術的危險性，」新加坡慈濟人醫會主席馮寶興醫師表示，外頭還有兩輛救護車隨時待命，若有緊急狀況發生，可以將病患送到附近設備較完整的醫院進行急救。
