Passing on the Passion of Fire and Continuing Struggle - The Medical Team Assisting China and Africa Continues the Spirit of Aid to Foreign Countries

2024-02-11   

In the early morning, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic. However, at the Bangui Friendship Hospital where the Chinese medical team stationed in aid to Central Africa, patients had already lined up in the hallway. More than a month ago, the 20th batch of medical teams assisting China and Africa arrived here and immediately began their intensive work. In the harsh environment, they handed over a satisfactory answer sheet to the local people with their superb medical skills. "Dr. Zheng's acupuncture and moxibustion technique is very good. My right arm is numb and weak. After more than a month's treatment, it has now returned to normal." Benjamin Aimei came out of the consulting room of acupuncture and moxibustion doctor Zheng Song and said to the reporter while waving his right arm. Ai Mei found her right arm unable to move last month and was recommended to receive acupuncture and moxibustion treatment here. She has basically recovered after four treatments. He sighed at the miraculous curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine: "acupuncture and moxibustion can produce such obvious effects without drugs, and will come here to see if there is a disease in the future." Eye doctor Chen Jintao has to work overtime to perform surgery after the end of outpatient service almost every working day, and has completed more than 20 sets so far. Chen Jintao said that Central Africa is close to the equator and has strong ultraviolet radiation, which has led to many people suffering from eye diseases. "I feel extremely proud to see one eye disease patient after another recover from my treatment," said Bidana Fabian, who came to the hospital for postoperative follow-up. He has been suffering from glaucoma for three years, and his medication has not improved. He was introduced to a medical team and underwent surgery. Since Dr. Chen performed the surgery on me half a month ago, my eyes have been much more comfortable. Central Africa is located in the inland of Africa and is one of the least developed countries, with medical facilities and standards difficult to meet the needs of the local people. The Bangui Friendship Hospital, which was built with the assistance of the Chinese government in 1987, currently has some outdated facilities. The conditions in Central Africa are difficult, and water and power outages are commonplace. Medical teams rely on generators to ensure electricity supply for their daily lives and work. In the work, the medical team strives to make up for the practical difficulties of insufficient medical conditions with superb medical skills. When it comes to a surgery that was recently performed in Central Africa, anesthesiologist Jin Cangyuan still has lingering palpitations. That is a critically ill gunshot patient who needs immediate general anesthesia surgery. "At that time, major hospitals in Bangui were unable to provide medical oxygen, and the oxygen production equipment at Bangui Friendship Hospital was outdated, under insufficient pressure, and facing power outages at any time." Jin Cangyuan explained that in an environment without stable oxygen supply and electricity, performing general anesthesia was like walking a tightrope, with great risks. The doctors quickly formulated a plan, after intubating the patient's trachea, connected the tracheal tube and the simple breathing bag, connected them to a home oxygen concentrator, and three anesthesiologists manually took turns squeezing the breathing bag for auxiliary ventilation, successfully completing a 4-hour general anesthesia surgery. Eric Rekose Camo, Minister of Equipment and Public Works in Central Africa, highly praised China's assistance in the field of health in Central Africa. He said that China's assistance to China and Africa never demands conditions, and truly considers the people of China and Africa, which is admirable. According to statistics, since China dispatched its first foreign medical team to Algeria in 1963, it has sent a total of 30000 medical personnel to 76 countries and regions, treated nearly 300 million patients, and trained more than 100000 medical personnel for many countries. Among generations of foreign aid medical team members,
