Maleny medic is taking medicine to Mongolia | Noosa News: "MONGOLIA is a long way from his Maleny home, but Chinese medicine practitioner Anthony Brown is ready for a challenge.
Next month Mr Brown will take part in a humanitarian medical project, swapping his clinic for a traditional Mongolian yurt, to provide medical care for those who can not afford to pay.
With no idea what is in store, Mr Brown said he was excited about the overseas mission.
"In Mongolia, only those who can pay are eligible for hospital care, so a huge proportion of disadvantaged people have nowhere to turn for medical assistance," he said.
"Because a lot of the people are nomads, they don't have much money - they have a big herd of goats and make do.
"People put up with their illnesses.""
