Original title: The 60th Anniversary of China's Dispatch of Foreign Aid Medical Teams to Promote the Building of a Community of Health for All.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of China's dispatch of medical teams to foreign countries. Over the past 60 years, the vast number of foreign-aid medical team members have benefited the local people with benevolence and benevolence, vividly interpreting the spirit of the Chinese medical team that is not afraid of hardship, willing to dedicate, save lives and help the wounded, and have boundless love. China's foreign-aid medical work has shifted from "blood transfusion" assistance to sustainable "hematopoietic" cooperation, and has continuously promoted the building of a community of health for mankind.
Since 1963, when China sent the first foreign medical team to Algeria, China has sent more than 30,000 medical team members to 76 countries and regions, and treated nearly 300 million patients. Fan Maorong, the leader of the first Chinese-aided Cambodian TCM anti-epidemic medical team and deputy director of the Department of Pulmonology of Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said that during the foreign aid, they focused on sorting out more than 10 kinds of TCM dominant diseases to improve the efficacy of acute and critical diseases and difficult diseases in the recipient hospitals.
Fan Maorong: We have combined the local living habits of Cambodia and formulated a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for Cambodian regions. We went into the countryside and went to local schools to provide free clinics for more than 6,000 people.
The song of friendship composed by generations of Chinese medical team members with benevolence and benevolence has also been played all over the world. Wang Baoxiang, chief physician of the neurology department of the First Hospital of Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, who has just completed 18 months of foreign aid medical services, said that in the past year and a half, they have completed outpatient and emergency services2With more than 490,000 person-times, the trust of the people of the recipient countries is the greatest recognition and encouragement for Chinese doctors who have aided foreign countries.
Wang Baoxiang: We have actively introduced new technologies and projects to fill the gap in the field of medicine in China and Africa, and the spirit of the Chinese medical team displayed by the medical team has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the local people.
In the past 60 years, China's foreign-aid medical service has never stopped. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has served millions of patients from recipient countries every yearWith the establishment of different forms of counterpart cooperation with 48 hospitals in 43 countries, the establishment of 25 key clinical specialty centers in cooperation with relevant countries, and the introduction of hundreds of new technologies, China's foreign-aid medical aid is shifting from "blood transfusion" assistance to sustainable "hematopoietic" cooperation. Wu Dexi, a member of the medical team from Guangdong Province to Dominica, has been working hard for three years to establish the first cardiovascular specialty in local history, and he hopes that in the future, he can build a "medical team that cannot be taken away" for Dominica through remote cooperation.
Ng Tek Hee: Dominica has limited access to medical care, and I really want to help them set up their own cardiovascular department. Since September this year, Dominica has sent two groups of medical backbones for training, and the first batch of team members has returned to Dominica and has used the skills learned in China to serve the local people. Through the remote and regular contact of the Sino-Dominica Telemedicine Center, it truly helps Dominica to achieve independent development.
He Jionghua, deputy director of the International Department of the National Health Commission and first-level inspector, said that in recent years, China and recipient countries have actively carried out all-round and multi-level medical cooperation with foreign aid, and continuously promoted the building of a community of health for mankind.
He Zhihua: The medical industry of foreign aid has also continued to develop, and we have actively cooperated with developing countries in public health projects to help them strengthen their public health capacity building. Towards a relationship of mutual cooperation, all-round, multi-level and wide-ranging development, the development prospects of medical and health cooperation between China and other parts of the world are very broad.
