The 40th convoy formation of our navy provides emergency medical assistance to the protected ships—— Building a "bridge of life" in the depths of the ocean ■ Yang Jie and Tang Wen Yueyang warship of the 40th escort formation of the Chinese Navy provided medicine for the cargo ship "Hailan Zhilv" through horizontal supply. Tang wenshe The Gulf of Aden in early summer is as clear as a sea breeze. "Thank the motherland Navy! We feel warm with you!" On the morning of May 11 local time, Yueyang frigate, the 40th batch of missile frigates of the Chinese Navy escort formation, provided drugs to the protected cargo ship "Hailan Zhilu" by means of horizontal supply, so that a sick crew member of the ship received timely and effective treatment. About half a month ago, a crew member of the "Hailan Tour" cargo ship developed diarrhea, fever and other symptoms. Due to the limited medical conditions on board, the patient's condition has not improved. After receiving the escort of the 40th escort formation, the "Hailan trip" immediately sent a help message. Informed of this, the staff of the formation command post and the military doctor immediately confirmed the patient's condition through the radio and discussed the rescue plan. Then, a remote consultation was launched quickly. The formation medical team finally judged that the patient's disease was bacterial enteritis through online consultation. Considering various factors such as escort mission, navigation safety, meteorological conditions and epidemic prevention and control, the formation decided to refer to the way of horizontal supply to transport drugs and provide medical guidance for the cargo ship "Hailan Zhilv". "Please rest assured that we are here! I wish the patient a speedy recovery!" When packing medicine, the officers and soldiers of Yueyang ship specially pasted a small card with blessings. This is not the first time that Huang Jianfeng, a health worker in the formation, has experienced such emergency assistance. A few years ago, during his mission to the Gulf of Aden with the 31st escort formation of the Navy, he received a request for help from a protected merchant ship. At that time, a crew member of the merchant ship was suspected of sudden myocardial infarction. The formation quickly started the emergency plan and sent medical personnel to the ship for emergency treatment. Huang Jianfeng is still impressed by that experience. As time went by, Huang Jianfeng went to the Gulf of Aden to carry out the escort mission again. His original heart remained unchanged: "the Gulf of Aden is the place where my dark blue dream began. I will continue to fulfill my mission and contribute my own strength to protect the peace of this sea area and the safety of passing ships." After receiving the medicine provided by the formation, the captain of the "Hailan Tour" expressed his thanks through the radio, and the crew also came to the deck to wave to the escort officers and soldiers. In the evening of May 11, "Hailan trip" sent a message to the formation again: "the patient's temperature of our ship has decreased and the situation has begun to improve. Thank the motherland Navy again!" Since 2008, the Chinese Navy's escort formation has carried out emergency rescue in the Gulf of Aden for many times to provide help to passing ships. Groups of escort officers and soldiers have won wide praise for their selfless love. "We will continue to perform our duties and missions well and contribute to the maintenance of world peace with practical actions." The officers and soldiers of the 40th escort formation said firmly.
