"Auspicious birds" flying from the plateau

Read the tips

Disease has become one of the main reasons for the increase in poverty in China, and solving diseases, especially serious diseases, has become the "hard bone" that China needs to gnaw on to overcome poverty. In 2016, China launched the health poverty alleviation project, proposing that by 2020, everyone in poor areas will enjoy basic medical and health services, and the rural poor will receive timely and effective treatment and guarantee for serious diseases. The Armed Police General Hospital gave full play to its resource advantages, took the treatment of patients with difficult diseases in poor areas as a healthy poverty alleviation hand, and successively performed more than 6,000 free surgeries for the masses, helping the poor people to strengthen their confidence in poverty alleviation and ignite the hope of life.

In Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in May, fine snow flutters and Kelsang blossoms.

"Tor and its, to its! (Tibetan: thank you) "After receiving surgery, the 79 cataract patients who saw the light again could not hide their gratitude, raised the white Hada with both hands above their heads, and respectfully dedicated it to the experts from the Armed Police General Hospital...

"They are like auspicious birds, bringing health and beauty to the Tibetan masses." When this expert medical team was mentioned, the local people sincerely praised it.

Fine screening, poverty alleviation policies have a base

"Without the true feelings of the Armed Police General Hospital, there would be no Baima Gabu today." Sitting in the ward of the Armed Police General Hospital, Bai Ma Gabu's mother, Bai Ma Yang Zhuo, said affectionately.

Bai Ma Gabu, a 14-year-old from Changguo Township, Saga County, Tibet, was diagnosed with echinococcosis three years ago. In order to see their children, the parents sold their yaks and goats, and the family was destitute, but Baima Gabu's condition did not improve.

At the beginning of last year, the hospital sent an expert medical team to the plateau for medical inspections, and organized forces to investigate the situation of the poor people in Tibetan areas due to illness.

As a zoonotic parasitic disease, hydatid disease has brought serious harm to the masses in China's agricultural and pastoral areas, and is also one of the main reasons for the poverty of the peasants and herdsmen in Tibetan areas due to illness.

"Only by finding out the bottom number can we accurately implement policies." To this end, the hospital dispatched 20 experts to form a medical team, and repeatedly went to 8 townships in Saga County, Tibet, to investigate and understand the source of local echinococcosis infection, the living habits of farmers and herdsmen, physical fitness, etc., screened 925 herders for echinococcosis, and 108 people were diagnosed with echinococcosis.

"The positive detection rate of echinococcosis is as high as 11.6%, which shocked the experts!" Tashi, director of the county's health bureau, said that experts and Saga County health department staff immediately registered these patients, classified the serious patients with multiple diseases and repeated surgeries and recurred, and formulated a free treatment plan for patients in batches.

"Lucky Baima Gabu became one of the first patients to be sent to Beijing for treatment." Tashi said.

In fact, baima gabu is far more fortunate than just one. In recent years, the hospital has taken the treatment of patients with difficult diseases in remote and poor areas as a health poverty alleviation hand, dispatched more than 40 batches of expert medical teams, went deep into poor areas to inspect and deliver drugs, and screened and explored more than 60,000 cases of patients with various difficult diseases, providing first-hand data for accurate policy.

Free aid ignites new hope for patients

Walking into the general surgery ward area of this hospital, you can smell a smell of butter tea. This characteristic taste full of time and space travel is brought by patients from Tibetan areas.

Tashi Zhuoga from Jiali, Tibet, unfortunately contracted echinococcosis, and then suffered abdominal trauma, resulting in the rupture of the echinococcosis sac, although he underwent related surgery in a hospital in Lhasa, but missed the best treatment time and did not achieve the expected results. For this, she was distressed.

By chance, Tashi Zhuoga saw on television the news that the Armed Police General Hospital had launched a "rescue operation for thousands of poor families with echinococcosis in Tibetan areas" and decided to seek medical treatment in Beijing. Listening to Tashi Zhuoga explain the reason, the doctors of the general surgery department of the hospital not only warmly received her, but also properly arranged food and accommodation for her family.

After some examination, Jia Yuanli, director of general surgery, and his team operated on Tashi Zhuoga, eventually removing the hydatid sac from her body.

"It was the doctors at the Armed Police General Hospital who gave me a second life." Tashi Zhuoga, who walked out of the operating room, burst into tears of excitement.

Coincidentally. Yiping Tsomao, who had just entered the fourth grade of primary school, had been dependent on his grandmother for his life, and his family was extremely poor. After being diagnosed with congenital heart disease, she was overwhelmed and lost confidence in life. On December 27 last year, liu Huiliang, then vice president of the hospital, after reading the examination report of Yiping Tso Mao, decided to use the ultra-fine ptca guide wire as a guide to perform surgical treatment on her. As a result, everything went smoothly.

Great love, the benevolence of the healer. In recent years, this hospital has carried out more than 6,000 free surgeries for the needy people in Tibetan areas, and a large number of people in need have once again strengthened their confidence in life and rekindled new hope for life.

Help educate people, leave the medical team behind

March 21, 2014 was an unforgettable day for Zhou Weishan, attending physician of the Tibet Armed Police Corps Hospital. On that day, he successfully performed minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery on a patient, the first time in his 15 years of work that he had done such surgery independently.

"I was able to get on the operating table so quickly and independently thanks to Dr. Wang Zhenyu's help." Zhou Weishan, who walked out of the operating room, sighed with emotion. He said that everything was thanks to the hook-up and help activities carried out by the Armed Police General Hospital, which gave him the opportunity to learn from famous teachers at close range, and the medical level has been greatly improved.

Wang Zhenyu in Zhou Weishankou is a well-known orthopedic expert of the Armed Police General Hospital, and he is Zhou Weishan's help mentor in the "hooking up and helping to help and cultivate talents" activity carried out by the hospital.

"'Blood transfusion' can only solve the urgent need, 'hematopoiesis' is the long-term solution." The hospital's political commissar Zhan Ming found that the lack of medical talents is a bottleneck restricting the development of medical undertakings in Tibetan areas, and to achieve sustainable results in health poverty alleviation, it is necessary to help local medical staff master superb medical skills and leave a "medical team that does not leave". To this end, they focus on talent training, discipline construction, team building and other aspects to help improve the local medical level.

On the banks of the Lancang River in early winter, snow envelops the distant mountains. Doctors at Nangqian County Hospital in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture felt the warmth of Beijing — experts at the Armed Police General Hospital were demonstrating to them surgeries such as chest-locked papillary muscle release and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

"This is a surgery that we have not tried ourselves, and we really appreciate the help of the experts." The president of the county hospital, Ou Cairen, sincerely admired that laparoscopic gallbladder removal is a new operation carried out in their hospital, but doctors dare not do it, and experts come to the door to demonstrate guidance and help, so that everyone can open their eyes.

Iron shoulders bear moral righteousness, and clever hands build benevolence. With the help of experts from the Armed Police General Hospital, not only a large number of medical technology backbones have grown rapidly, but also a minimally invasive treatment center for hepatobiliary and gallbladder and a minimally invasive treatment center for gynecology and urology have been initially built, filling the gap in Tibetan areas.

The "Three Batches of Action Plan for Health Poverty Alleviation Project" jointly issued by the six ministries and commissions of the state proposes to implement preferential policy support for the medical treatment of serious illnesses of the poor:

● Give priority to eligible rural poor people in terms of starting line and reimbursement ratio. Increase medical assistance and include all eligible rural poor people in the scope of assistance;

● Coordinate basic medical insurance, major illness insurance, medical assistance, commercial health insurance and other measures, implement linkage reimbursement, and effectively improve the level of benefits for the rural poor;

●The poor people are hospitalized in the county and then paid, and the relevant medical insurance and rescue policies are completed in the designated hospitals through the same window and unified information platform. Where a unified information platform has not been established, implement the methods of advance payment, regular joint review, and unified settlement in designated hospitals to reduce the burden of poor patients to see a doctor.
