Taipei, July 28 (CNA) Liu Chao-hui (劉兆輝), a survivor of the TransAsia Airways crash in Taipei three years ago, who currently practices medicine in Taiwan’s outlying Kinmen County, said recently that he plans to build a hospital named “Angel Lisa” in Belize to provide free medical care to local residents.

Liu made the decision after visiting the Central American nation in June, as part of a charity medical mission initiated by his oldest daughter Liu Jui-chi (劉瑞琪) and son-in-law Tao Te-chi (陶德志), he said.

Liu said the future hospital will be named after his youngest daughter Lisa (劉佳琪) who died from cancer at the age of 18 and always wanted to be a doctor as a young child.

“Belize was love at first sight,” he said, recalling the moment he arrived in the country with his daughter and the medical team made up of medical volunteers from Taiwan and the United States.    [FULL  STORY]
