African communities praise 'Peace Ark'
2024-10-14
The Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship is currently carrying out the "Harmony Mission-2024" mission overseas. On September 22nd local time, the hospital ship "Peace Ark" successfully completed its second visit to Congo (Brazzaville) and slowly departed from the port of Blackhorn. During the 7-day visit, the "Peace Ark" hospital ship provided medical services to local residents, overseas Chinese, and others throughout the entire process. It treated more than 4400 people, conducted more than 2300 auxiliary examinations and tests, successfully performed 127 surgeries, and admitted 22 hospitalized patients. The benevolent heart and skills of Chinese medical staff have won high praise from local patients and people from all walks of life. Mojo, Minister of Defense of the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville): Seven years ago, the hospital ship "Peace Ark" visited here, which reflects the good brotherly relationship between our two peoples. The 'Peace Ark' provides perfect medical services for the people of Congo (Brazzaville), and we say 'thank you' to China for everything it has done for the development of the world, especially for peace. Congo (Brazzaville) and surrounding countries are located on the equator, with strong sunlight and a large number of cataract patients. The arrival of Chinese doctors has brought them light and hope. Local patient Janet: Upon learning that Chinese doctors are coming, we came here specifically because we trust Chinese doctors. An Angolan girl named Oliana suffers from multiple uterine fibroids and has a large volume. She traveled across the country for four days and arrived at the "Peace Ark" hospital ship. After surgery by Chinese doctors, 13 tumors weighing 2.15 kilograms were removed. Oliana recovered well after the surgery. She said that the 'Peace Ark' ignited her hope and she must go to China to see it in the future. Angolan patient Oliana: I want to thank all the Chinese doctors and medical personnel of the "Peace Ark" for giving me a second life. This disease has been troubling me for many years, and our country is unable to perform surgeries in this area. I had to follow the "Peace Ark" to Congo (Brazzaville). Thank you again for China's assistance to our African compatriots. Nurse Zhang Xinchao from the 30th batch of Chinese medical team aid to Congo (Brazzaville) stated that a patient who had suffered a fracture for two years had swollen thighs as thick as their waist due to long-term inability to treat it. When the medical staff of the "Peace Ark" and the Chinese foreign aid medical team went to Engoyo Hospital in Heijiao City for academic exchange, Zhang Xinchao found an opportunity for treatment for this patient. Zhang Xinchao: The patient's name is Bryce, and two years ago, he suffered a serious fracture of his right femur in a car accident. Considering that the hospital ship 'Peace Ark' will stay for 7 days without surgery, we will inquire and contact the local hospital in Blackhorn for him. We were delighted to discover that this hospital, which will operate in 2022, has medical equipment such as steel nails and plates. Later, we contacted Bryce, who was very happy to hear this and said he would come to Engoyo Hospital for treatment in a few days. During the docking of the hospital ship "Peace Ark" at the Port of Blackhorn in Congo (Brazzaville), the medical team of "Peace Ark" also went to the local hospital to provide medical treatment for the local people together with the Chinese medical team assisting Congo (Brazzaville). Local overseas Chinese also boarded the ship to seek medical treatment upon hearing the news. Chinese sailor Chang Hongbin from a Chinese company was accidentally hit in the right leg by a fishing net and steel cable during fishing operations, resulting in immobility and severe pain. The medical staff of the "Peace Ark" hospital ship immediately activated the emergency plan and conducted a detailed examination of Chang Hongbin. Dr. Chen Yi, a ship orthopedic surgeon at the "Peace Ark" hospital: Based on the patient's medical history, physical examination, and X-ray examination, we determine that the injured person has a fracture in the middle of the right tibia and fibula. Taking into account his physical condition and injury, several orthopedic surgeons have decided to perform a combination of fracture reduction and plaster fixation surgery for the injured patient. After the treatment, Chang Hongbin, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a cast, relaxed his previously furrowed brow. The professional treatment of Chinese military doctors finally eased his anxious heart. Chinese injured fisherman Chang Hongbin: With the strong support of our motherland, our personnel working overseas feel extremely warm. The hospital ship "Peace Ark" has limited time to dock at Blackhorn this time, and the treatment and rehabilitation work for many patients after surgery will be taken over by the 30th batch of Chinese medical teams to aid Congo (Brazzaville). Ms. Marien, 56, is such a patient. Five years ago, she discovered a lump on her back that gradually increased in size and prominently protruded from the surface of the body. Qin Qiong, a doctor from the 30th batch of Chinese medical team aid to Congo (Brazzaville): In less than two hours, Ms. Marien completed all preoperative examinations and received the results. The surgical team performed a back tumor resection in the operating room on the same day, and the surgical process went smoothly. After the medical ship left, the patient came to the Chinese medical team (Black Horn Squad) stationed at Luwangqili Hospital for follow-up as scheduled. We have completed the follow-up and instructed the patient to change dressing on time. After the wound is completely healed, the medical team will remove the stitches. Patient Marien: The surgery not only removed the lump on my body, but also the shadow on my soul, making me more confident. Many people in Congo (Brazzaville) rarely eat vegetables and fruits, and there are more patients suffering from diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids. Song Bo is an internal medicine doctor of the 30th batch of Chinese medical team aid to Congo (Brazzaville). During the visit of the "Peace Ark" hospital ship, he and the medical staff of the "Peace Ark" treated multiple constipation patients and prescribed ointment from China. Song Bo: What impressed me the most was a patient in his 50s who ran up to me like a child and said, 'I never thought that such a small ointment could bring me such a big change.'. (New Society)
