==============
Dear Secretary Douglas,

After many years in establishing and strengthening health care services to the northern Mzuzu province in Malawi, Taiwan's Pingdong Christian Medical Mission was called in early February to suspend health service to the impoverished 2M people in Malawi, including leaving more than 7,000 HIV patients who were under the anti-retroviral treatment by the Taiwan medical mission since 2000. China was to establish the diplomatic tie with Malawi and depart Taiwan’s doctors. UK has been a close allay of Malawi, and offered strong support for health care program there. Can UK government continue the medical program in Mzuzu, which has not been possible by China’s diplomats there. Donald Luchen, MD, EFTHA, London
