WINDHOEK, FEB 20– Going back to work in Namibia shortly after the Spring Festival, the Chinese medical staff received probably the best new year greeting for doctors — a thank-you letter from Lea Tikotoke, a healed patient.
The 30-year-old Namibian had been unable to walk due to severe hip and back pain. Local doctors failed to diagnose her of any disease after a series of tests including X-rays in December last year.
Tikotoke had to walk with a walking stick until she received a needle technique massage on her back and hip from Chinese doctors at Katutura Immediate Hospital in January.
“From that day on, I started walking without a stick,” Tikotoke recalled.
Chu Hailin, a senior doctor with the Chinese medical team who has been serving for a third term in Namibia, said a lot of patients went back to their Chinese doctors to say thank you, and some even sang and danced in the clinic to show their joy and gratitude.
PEARLS IN AFRICA
For half a century, from the Sahara Desert to the Victoria Falls, from Kilimanjaro Mountain to the Gulf of Guinea, from the Banks of the Nile to the Great Rift Valley, from the Congo River to the Zambezi River, from the African savanna to the dense jungle, the Chinese medical teams are scattered like pearls on the Africa continent, a report by China’s National Health Commission wrote.
In 1963, the first Chinese medical team arrived in the northern African country of Algeria. Since then China has sent about 20,000 doctors to a total of 51 countries and regions in Africa, where, together with local doctors, Chinese medical staff have saved more than 200 million lives.
In the west African country of Gambia, the Chinese medical team launched free cataract surgery in January, helping more than 200 local people regain sight.
In Sudan, Chinese medical staff successfully performed hip fracture surgery for a 90-year-old who could not be treated by local hospitals.
In Malawi, the Chinese medical team carried out the first ever radical gastrectomy operation in the country.
In Guinea, where power is frequently off, Chinese doctors completed the first thoracotomy with mobile phone lighting.
When Ebola virus broke out in West Africa in 2014, China sent more than 1,200 medical staff and public health experts to the region. They won praises from the governments and people of the recipient countries.
