His compassion, ethics, and lifelong commitment to helping others without seeking profit are key themes in the video.

💡No Tariff Policy

Doctor Lo's policy of not charging patients is a major concept in the video. This policy is driven by his principle that healthcare should not be about profit but about saving lives. It reflects his humanitarian approach and his belief that doctors should not prioritize money, which he inherited from his father's teachings.

💡Social Fund

The social fund mentioned in the video refers to a source of financial support Doctor Lo uses to cover the costs of medications and treatments for patients who cannot afford them. This fund is sustained by donations from individuals, including a longtime anonymous donor, allowing Doctor Lo to continue his practice without worrying about payments.

An anonymous donor, a close friend of Doctor Lo's for over 25 years, plays a significant role in supporting the social fund. This donor's contributions reflect the broader theme of community support and charity that helps sustain Doctor Lo's practice, illustrating the impact of altruism in healthcare.

💡Subsidiary Payment

Subsidiary payment refers to Doctor Lo’s system where a portion of patients (about 40%) pay for their treatments, while the rest do not. The payments from those who can afford to pay help offset the costs for those who cannot. This cross-subsidization ensures that Doctor Lo can continue his mission of serving all patients, regardless of their financial status.

💡Life Lessons from Father

Doctor Lo's father is a significant influence in his life, as he imparted the belief that a doctor should not seek to become wealthy from the profession.

His work ethic and selflessness inspire admiration and highlight the impact one person can make by dedicating their life to serving others.

💡Healthcare Access
