Surmang Foundation's Clinic is located in Qinghai Province, Yushu Prefecture, Xiao Surmang Township, China. It is a remote, 97 percent ethnic Tibetan, mountainous region with little access to organized health care services. Surmang Foundation, a US 501(c)3 charity, has organized a cadre of local women to provide community-based care and education to women, resulting in a notable reduction in maternal mortality based on the report of community members. A festival organized to celebrate the accomplishments of the community health workers provided an opportunity for the women to demonstrate how their roles benefit themselves and their community. Both health care services and support for community empowerment are provided through the community health worker model.
苏芒基金会诊所位于中国青海省玉树州小苏芒乡。这是一个偏远地区，97%的人口为藏族，多山且难以获得有组织的医疗服务。美国501(c)3慈善机构苏芒基金会组织了一批当地妇女为妇女提供社区护理和教育，根据社区成员的报告，孕产妇死亡率显著降低。为庆祝社区卫生工作者的成就而组织的一个节日为这些妇女提供了一个机会，展示她们的角色如何使自己和社区受益。通过社区卫生工作者模式，既提供了医疗服务，又支持了社区赋权。
