Shanghai doctor in Morocco China story

The 2016-02-16 national health and population and family planning commission of the People's Republic of China

background

In September 1975, Shanghai is responsible for forming the first support of the Chinese medical team to hassan ii Tate province hospital. Since then, Shanghai sent medical teams to Morocco in 166 batches of 166 people. 1975-2015, the Chinese aid medical team a total of about 5.4 million patients with diagnosis and Morocco, patients were about 650000 people, including approximately 450000 cases of surgery. At present there are still more than 70 medical workers work in Morocco.

Shanghai aid medical team is part of China's foreign medical aid. East China normal university Xu Wenying master thesis studies of Shanghai aid medical team in Morocco (1975-1985), "quoting authoritative sources, in January 1963, China announced a sent medical teams to Algeria, which opened the history of foreign aid medical team of the People's Republic of China. Africa is sent medical teams in our country, one of the earliest regions. First to Algeria's medical team, including the four medical personnel in Shanghai. In 1965, authorized by the ministry of health, Shanghai began to separate form foreign aid medical team. Since 1983, Morocco, become the focus of the Shanghai aid medical team support.

Shanghai academy of social sciences, the Shanghai people's livelihood development report Ed. Wang ling one tells, Shanghai medical team at the request of ShouYuanFang, basically be placed in small and medium-sized cities, remote areas and even the gobi desert, while the west of the medical team to the center often is the coastal plain of the city and even the hospital "noble" of the rich area, can say that the Chinese medical team more embodies the unselfish feelings.

At home for the holiday this year, while on duty, after all, eating a few reunion dinner with family. Shanghai eighth people's hospital of gynecology and obstetrics doctor li will be happy, there are some disconsolate, two year of the horse, in the Chinese New Year, she is in the far north African country of Morocco. In memory of the aid medical team life two years, she do a few new Moroccan dish, let friends and relatives try, condiment with not neat, can only be modified.

After the 40th anniversary of Shanghai medical aid in Morocco, reporters visited some of the players. 40 years across multiple times, the world pattern change, our country's internal affairs, the adjustment of foreign policy also, constant is "international" and "humanitarian" two keywords. White angels using a calm tone, tells the story of the writing is not desirable, but if you can help to understand, is meaningful, diversity of the world know more about, understanding China's soft power output more, be more understanding each other between doctor and patient...

The serpent's visit

The snake, the estimate is gynecology and obstetrics doctor XingLi one of the most profound memory of Morocco. Is on the side of the medical team in building condition is poor, open-air dump. In the short term, there are three people in different locations on the team saw the snake, and didn't care. Until I live on the first floor of the acupuncture doctor jiang heard a noise in the drawer, slowly open the drawer, a serpent lying in it. The doctor called pediatric doctor li and jiang li keep up, shoot first obtain evidence, and then to the garden and rushed to the orthopaedic doctor song together destroyed it. Picked up a dead snake, 1.2 meters long.

Acute nurse-in-charge Kong Xiaohua lifetime forget the worms. Grew up in a big city, what time met hordes of live maggots? The girl before check data, will work of agadir hassan ii hospital with acute renal medicine is given priority to, relatively developed here, the doctor is a French study. She imagined clean room and advanced treatment equipment, and for the same batch Cao Kai happy to husband, Cao Kai is kidney internal medicine doctor. Results to field a look, and try to only she and a Chinese doctor, therapy of 2 square metre only, also has the functions of the pharmacy, ward no aseptic facilities. A burn patients in the emergency department for more than a dozen genius to acute, Kong Xiaohua uncover his body wrapped in cloth that moment, the taste, go against, the wound is crawling with worms.

Time is slightly longer, Kong Xiaohua found that this is not an exception. Local residents safety consciousness is not strong, the gas leak, often a ignition was exploded. So, burn patients, condition. Due to reasons such as transportation, economy, the patient often for a long time to be delivered, bandaging of wound for a long time did not change, combined with the hot weather, the wound decay, medical staff are often double shock visual sense of smell.

Staff are scarce, it is a heavy test. From do cotton ball to get medicine from the disinfection equipment gauze to change the wound dressing, Kong Xiao huadu to himself. Of doctor of vice director of obstetrics and gynecology mei-fang sun is bearing the only province center hospital of obstetrics and gynecology specialist, as one of guanyin, wards, delivery room of outpatient service and emergency treatment and rescue, no holidays, two years, save 1149, 394 cases of surgery.

In Shanghai, simply can't imagine how hard condition over there.

No blood transfusion from acupuncture to several kilograms of tumor resection

Kong Xiaohua wrote in his diary: "we have no fear, no retreat." China's health care workers with superb medical skill and high sense of responsibility, won his position.

In Morocco, first of all, "red", is full of Chinese characteristics of traditional medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. Xu Wenying described in the paper, the first aid medical team arrived, and have got wind of the locals to inquire about acupuncture. Two years, the only one on the team finished 50000 person-times MenZhenLiang acupuncturist. Through word-of-mouth and media reports, "acupuncture" became a synonym for Chinese medical team.

Morocco, doctors are divided into junior and general, which specialists of high social status, education background tend to have the experience of study abroad in Europe, "proud" is Shanghai doctors told reporters in general. But mei-fang sun butcher a surgery, moldova a specialized subject doctor actively play the hand. The patient of the fetus and placenta has been free to abdominal cavity, the doctor met a lot of maternal uterine rupture, sun never meet so serious. Local of specialized subject doctor advised the patient courtyard, in accordance with local laws and regulations, as long as the transfer of the single open, patients in any situation, the way the doctor have no responsibility. But referred to in the road bumps for four hours, in order to 1% of the hope of life, sun to the doctor, on-site emergency treatment. Perhaps at the moment, local specialist attitude changed. He helped the doctor put the patient to the operating room, sun also helps with blood. Surgery from 23 at the middle of the night, until 4 am the next day when 30 points. During the day, specialized subject doctor found the patient saved, day. Since then, his doctors sincerely showing respect for China, he felt great China.

Of doctor of vice director of surgery Huan bright gold, with "ring"), two years in Morocco, succeeded in winning the size of more than 1200 operations, his workload for moldova general surgery specialist more than four times. Huan this name is rare, so Huan bright gold name search. Search to many domestic patient and family to evaluate Huan doctor, says his patient, kind, high medical skill.

In Huan doctor's record, there are so many "first time", their medical team in archie hospital pioneered the first implementation of multiple surgical cases. As for the first time and a lot of huge goiter resection, this is a kind of common disease, local sounds make people love dearly, tumor around the neck, women pack headscarves, others is not easy to find the illness, oneself also slowly accustomed to, until can't endure the past to see a doctor, then some swelling has reached a few kilograms. Operation risk is bigger, blood vessels and even have a thick finger, one not careful, blood flow, in the local blood transfusion is very difficult. Huan said the doctor, must guarantee that in the case of no blood transfusion, as soon as possible to complete the operation. To Morocco to do after the first surgery, it took more than three hours, he was reduced to 1 hour.

Heal the wounded and rescue the dying love

Almost ten years later, Huan bright gold or feel sorry for a patient. One afternoon when 18, resting in the doctor was called to see one of the injured, the young man was only 17 years old, at about 12 noon was stabbed a knife, spleen rupture, where has stopped breathing. Inexperienced Huan said the doctor, local doctors and failed to control bleeding in the operation, if call me early.

There is no way to statistics, due to China's doctor arrived, the patient is much much chance of survival and recovery. Can statistics is the transfer rate, at the end of 2007, Huan bright gold record a pen: "in April 2007 up to now, I handle general surgery patients to achieve zero transfer record."

Behind zero courtyard, is the high and low skill, also different ideas. Almost every interview signing the player, speak to the courtyard. Traffic inconvenience, the patient often can't endure not don't come to the hospital in the past, the more severe illness, the more local doctor hurriedly let go to large hospital, a turn, was less then a few hours of turbulence, life and death. At the beginning, both sides of the doctor mutual incomprehension. Huan bright gold found, the condition is limited. Have shock patients, for example, first of all, the anesthesiologist worry, because there is no recovery room, no care unit, the second don't want to also do not have experience nursing. So he from time to time to ward rounds, teaching experience, the urge to complete nursing work. A month later, moldova medical personnel in the heart bottom, cooperate with the tacit understanding, the work is extremely well.

Bring the Chinese medical team, was "not afraid of hard, dedicated, heal the wounded and rescue the dying, big boundless love" of the spirit. Each age has its own spirit, every industry has its own moral standard, white angels to heal the wounded and rescue the dying is the first duty, not just a job, more is not a "business".

Recently, baidu news out to push a message, saying is CCTV selection by the netizen "the most beautiful doctor". 9 candidates, not aortic tear also insist on surgery for the patient, is a moment of rest overworked tired lying on the ground directly, forgetting her family is essential. Netizens questioned, this kind of contest than or than miserable? If treated patients need to be a life for a life, who will dare to study medicine?

Can I do? In a survival situation, like a soldier got cold. Mei-fang sun came close to one life for three lives. A twin multipara, already in labor, fetal head and head lock, precursor uterine rupture, must be immediately surgery, 3 to rescue lives. But at the moment, dr.sun heart paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, heart rate above 160 times, dr.sun regardless of colleagues, under the horizontal one message: "I am death also want to put them back"! After she ate plenty of heart medications, adhere to power operation, managed to salvage a pair of weight 6 kg more than half of longfeng fetus, mother and child three people peace, Dr Sun almost collapsed to the ground.

A little bit "easily" than mei-fang sun li, her along with a local hospital of specialized subject doctor, can turn on each other. But in fact she is difficult to have a complete rest at night, local fertility rate is high, and fat as beauty, there is no lack of symptoms of diabetes, high blood sugar, maternal appeared a lot of unexpected. One night very quiet, lee will not steadfast in heart, to ward rounds, see that night have 14 neonatal peace was born, and "less". Eight yuan jian-yuan zhou secretary exclamation meals, he led the college, people go to Morocco sympathy, very not easy to put together to eat meal, emergency, the doctor away.

In the autumn night, listen to mom

In Morocco, few Chinese people, especially in small place. The street to see China faces, local people will stop driving, they know that China is likely to be a doctor. The orthopaedic surgeon said song, moroccans live quite comfortable, don't worry, the poor rich and decoration, met always greeted warmly, no matter know.

Hospital staff need a reason, is a local specialist in workload big, low-paid public hospital stay, a lot of people work for a few years later, made a job-hopping and went to a private hospital. Some remote clinic in the poor areas, almost all by Chinese doctors. A crop of another crop, once every two years, the next batch, didn't leave the last order.

The Chinese medical team not only receive the respect, also have misunderstanding, let they had wronged. As soon as you leave home, away, for two years, the work is so hard, it must be "his motivation" - local colleagues to make money, let the doctor Bethune complex strong Shanghai psychological gap is so big.

Of doctor of vice director of obstetrics and gynecology jolene afar the cloth, in the autumn night, open the computer, see friends sent photos of moon cakes, winnie, glossy brushed, never think moon cake is so attractive. The mother called the trans-oceanic phones, jolene let mother cooked dishes to take home to listen to, good friends.

Journalists to eight yuan, right against the face is the prologue: deputy secretary yin-ping li pointed to a list one by one, he/she/they children, a few years old. Song on that day, the wife turned seven months pregnant, and he knew her baby is to look at the pictures. Huan bright gold and XingLi couples children grade three, lee is three grade of children. Cao Kai and Kong Xiaohua couples, in March 2013, when the child was two years old.

Jolene've learned one, work in Africa there are also bitter sweet, should pain for pleasure, to enjoy; Must be satisfied with, to enjoy it! Idle to kinds of vegetables, jiangnan people uncomfortable without eat green leafy vegetables, Cao Kai said that the local market to buy vegetables, just a few samples, tomatoes, Onions, potatoes, peppers, carrots, cucumbers. Their gardens of fine tradition, at least from the third batch of Shanghai aid the medical team began to come down. Lee will be opened up to food friendly solution of homesickness, loathe to give up eating the food to send some to Morocco neighbors, see they ate with relish, also be the spread of Chinese culture, by the way, learn Arabic, teasing his owner's child. Night shift, the local colleagues will ready Moroccan tea, understand gradually filled with feelings of the breed.

I'm lonely, medical team met Chinese employees, they also aid in Africa, expand the market. The medical team to provide medical help, Chinese employees feel more comfort. Top logistics companies, often send food to improve medical food.

As a Chinese, do not have too much publicity in the local media, specific microscopic field work they are doing, what to tell "China story".

During the cold war, China's foreign aid is one important purpose built walls break superpower, get out and let others see us, hear our voice. Generation after generation, the goal of foreign exchange changes unceasingly, how to explain to the far-away exotic people "area"? All the way to heal the wounded and rescue the dying of the China doctor = = area, such language beyond cultural differences.

Wang ling has written a song "ode to the Mediterranean, with" plainclothes police "theme song, melody, personally sing to aid the players:

You ask, how much sheen signing the? Endless gobi sand beaches! Heal the wounded and rescue the dying millions times, how many angels was unknown. People say that you are a big of boundless love, I said you are contemporary Bethune. Country, wanli molded monument, eternal feelings.

The reporter's note

The patient kiss our gloves

Aid is selfless dedication, care staff in such aspects as economic income, the title promotion will get some compensation, also needless to say, but it isn't much. No economy, and the couple signing the at the same time, missed the Shanghai house prices low, to find who argue? The real harvest, is affect career soul shock.

Be praised the beautiful girls, of course happy, Morocco Kong Xiaohua received the patient to a "beauty", but don't have touched. Express the sincere feelings of the patient, "translate" into elementary composition format, should be like this: "the girl not only looks beautiful, more beautiful soul."

More patients silently kissed paramedics white gloves, to express thanks and respect. Local patients and family members, is almost a given the paramedics unconditional trust. A man can marry four wives, but the department of obstetrics and gynecology doctors never encounter "with adults or children" problem.

Medical material industry play "to love" face to face with the doctor-patient contradiction, Pan Hong plays Liao Ke difficult, director of obstetrics and gynecology doctors parents heart, but many troubled: I am old, can't keep up with The Times. She inherits the idea of relying on professional level, doctors should decide the most beneficial to the patient treatment, and the concept of the younger generation is part of his choice and responsibility to patients and their families, avoid some conflicts.

After you come back more than signing the player, some not used to it. Lost the trust of the pure between patient and physician, sometimes a timid.

Signing the experience, let them to re-examine the doctor-patient relationship, to a new understanding of the responsibility of medical staff, was used in the domestic, have no time to ponder.

"In ten years, in retrospect, perhaps feeling will be more." A doctor said. (source: the state council information office website, on February 15, 2016)
