Our inspiration
Established in 1990, in memory of Tony L. Choon
Partners for Patients NGO (PFP.NGO) was established in 1990 by Mimi Choon-Quinones in memory of her father, Tony L. Choon.
From a young age, Tony Choon understood human suffering. As a Mongolian refugee in China, he struggled with the scarcity of basic resources — an experience that shaped a lifelong conviction: no one should suffer for lack of access to medicine.
