This is the largest consultation room on the Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship, with approximately 60 square meters and 7 hospital beds. On three medical carts, there are glass jars and moxibustion boxes of all sizes. The air was filled with the burnt aroma of mugwort. 47-year-old Godfrey pulled out the cupping jar and got out of bed, his eyes filled with surprise. That's great! "He thumbed up and said to traditional Chinese medicine doctor Zhang Xuan," Can you help me take another look at this place? I'm in pain and can't walk. "Zhang Xuan also used a silver needle to prick several acupoints for Gotifried. August 22 was the the fourth day day of the Peace Ark's visit to Solomon Islands and medical services.

In recent days, the "Ark of Peace" has visited multiple countries. In Tonga, a local elderly woman boarded the "Peace Ark" with a moxibustion box and said, "After waiting for 5 years, I finally came back to you." This moxibustion box was left to her by a Chinese doctor on the "Peace Ark" in 2018. After completing the treatment, traditional Chinese medicine doctor Dong Li gave the old man dozens of moxibustion sticks. In the village of Erak in Vanuatu, 48-year-old resident Corresti has had back pain in the right back for two years. For the first time experiencing traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, Corresti looked a bit nervous when he saw the cupping jar in the hand of traditional Chinese medicine doctor Zhao Jing.
