There is a mission hospital located in the mountains of a very poor country in South America. The country is largely populated by native Indians who live in small, primitive villages and who speak no English.
Medical care is limited to a few mission hospitals located in various mountain villages.
An international organization reviewing the health care of this country's natives found, to their amazement, that natives would walk for days, often carrying sick loved ones on their backs, to get to one of the country's more inaccessible mountain ranges. On asking why they came to this particular hospital when they could have gone to one much closer to their village, the natives would answer, At this hospital, the hands are different. The study team found that in spite of cultural differences, language barriers and the great distance over rough terrain, this particular mission hospital had gained the reputation that above all else it truly cared for the natives.
