Conveying Hope and Happiness - China's Aid to Papua New Guinea Medical Team Improves Local Newborn Treatment Capacity
2023-08-09
A special "hundred day banquet" was recently held in a small village in the central province of Papua New Guinea, an island country in the South Pacific. Liu Zhenqiu, the deputy captain of the 12th batch of PNG China Medical Team and the deputy chief physician of the Department of Neonatology, was specially invited to this banquet to witness and bless the healthy growth of a small patient he personally treated. The child's name is Taylor, which means "peace and happiness come after adversity," and the pronunciation is the same as the English name Taylor. More than three months ago, Taylor was born at the Port Moresby General Hospital in the capital city. At birth, he weighed only 2600 grams and was diagnosed with severe birth asphyxia, meconium aspiration syndrome, sepsis, and was once critically ill. Liu Zhenqiu and medical staff from the Department of Neonatal Pediatrics of the General Hospital quickly formed a treatment team, using the newly assembled PNG's first neonatal ventilator to provide timely respiratory support to Tai Le, and implementing precise strategies to ultimately cure Tai Le. Afterwards, the child's mother, Josephine Inapete, sent a letter to the Chinese medical team, hoping that Liu Zhenqiu would give the child a Chinese name to forever remember this kindness. After Tai Le was discharged, Liu Zhenqiu and the parents of the child still maintained contact and paid attention to Tai Le's recovery. Tai Le's parents have always wanted to invite Liu Zhenqiu to the village, so according to Chinese customs, they held a hundred day banquet for Tai Le to share the joy of their child's healthy growth together. Inapi said, "Tai Le, I hope you grow up healthy and always grateful for the people who saved your life. I hope you can learn from Dr. Liu when you grow up, to convey hope, love, and happiness, and make this world a better place Thank you very much for having such a Chinese doctor by our side. From clinical technology, teaching and training, to disciplinary development, and humanistic care, he has given us a lot of inspiration and inspiration. Thank you for having him, thank the Chinese medical team! "Tai Le's" rebirth "is also a microcosm of the benevolent and benevolent efforts of Chinese aid teams to Papua New Guinea over the past 20 years to benefit the local people. Since 2002, China has continuously dispatched 12 batches of medical teams to Papua New Guinea, making positive contributions to improving Papua New Guinea's medical and health standards and promoting China Pakistan New Zealand friendship. Due to limited medical and health conditions, the neonatal mortality rate in Papua New Guinea is very high. The Chinese medical team continuously improves the local level of newborn treatment by treating patients, training and teaching local medical staff, conducting academic lectures, and conducting neonatal resuscitation skills training. China Pakistan Singapore has also cooperated to establish the China Pakistan Singapore Friendship Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, which is jointly managed and operated by the Chinese medical team and the Port Moresby General Hospital. It can not only carry out various minimally invasive surgical procedures such as general surgery, urology, gynecology, neurosurgery, etc., but also provide training for local medical personnel to promote the development of minimally invasive surgery in Papua New Guinea. In July of this year, Chinese Ambassador to Papua New Guinea Zeng Fanhua and Secretary General of the Ministry of Health of Papua New Guinea Osborne Liko signed a protocol on behalf of the two governments, reaching a consensus on China's continued dispatch of medical teams to work in Papua New Guinea. Liko expressed that the PNG government sincerely appreciates China's selfless assistance. The renewal of the protocol by both parties is conducive to promoting the development of Papua New Guinea's healthcare industry and providing assistance for deepening China Pakistan Singapore relations.
