CHINA-TIBET-MEDICAL TEAM-HOME SERVICE (CN)

(230615) -- LHASA, June 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Wang Zhenjiang (R) checks the feet for an 89-year-old patient at a village in Mainling City, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, June 12, 2023. Wang Zhenjiang, Chen Bing and Wang Tongxu are doctors of a medical team from a hospital in Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, who arrived in Tibet in late February. In order to provide sufficient medical services to the villagers, especially elder people with chronic diseases, they have paid regular home visits to the villages despite of the physical burden they need to endure on the plateau. However, the doctors feel everything is worthwhile when they are warmly welcomed in the village as their visits give lots of villagers easier access to the medical treatment they need. "As a doctor, this is a sense of responsibility and mission," said Wang Tongxu, "It's especially meaningful to me when I can bring some benefits to the local Tibetan villagers with what I have learned."
