Mountain residents get high-quality healthcare

China Daily  

Rural doctor Xin Ping controls the flow of an intravenous drip for an elderly woman at her home in Longjiao town, Shanxi province. "The clinic was set up in my own house in Xiazhuanghe village until 2015, when authorities funded the establishment of a public rural clinic and improved the working environment quite a lot," he said. "A couple of years ago, I remember seeing all four family members of a household had fallen ill, so I made steamed buns and prepared breakfast for them after finishing their diagnoses," he said. "Villagers were in a panic at the beginning, so sometimes I had to handle patients visiting me while answering phone calls and messages at the same time," he said. One of his oldest COVID-19 patients was 93 years old and is now recovering, Xin said, adding that some severe patients had also been transferred to more developed regions for treatment.
