This batch of medical teams are sent by Beijing China Millennium Altar hospital. This Zu ChunRong, Vice President of institute, is moved deeply by the persistent spirit of team members: "To tell the truth, the medical team does not have concrete medical index in Guinea, how much, how is done to do totally according to conscience and responsibility. " August of 2008, a group of 15 will set out from Beijing to medical team, get, far away from motherland kilometer of the intersection of Conakry and university, capitals of Guinea, attach to inferior hospital, man of Sri Lankan, and draw hospital, district of shellfish, launch the work of aiding outside. They transmit the friendship, heal the wounded, rescue the dying, sow and shed the Chinese people's love on the earth of Africa. " the risk that medical team members are infected with AIDS is very great " National Guinea of west African is close to the Atlantic Ocean, close to the equator, it is one of the poorest countries in the world. Infectious disease there is numerous, there are malaria, typhoid fever, yellow fever, the AIDS morbidity is very high too. Medical team member Jie YueHui says: "I hear ' VIH ' for the first time when going to make the rounds of the wards. Later on I come to understand, they so-called ' VIH ' were the HIV-positive meaning originally. The situation in the ward is more surprised, several people live in a ward, and have AIDS patients here in hospital every day, it is very bad to protect the condition. " Solve and jump the brightness to tell reporters, the phenomenon of local shortage of medical services and medicines is very serious, " many patients are all that diseases must be not all right to come to see the doctor, there is no money at all, there is no whereabouts in life. I can only try me best to help them to full capacity. " Medical team member Zhang YaFeng tells reporters, many patients do not know that suffer from AIDS by oneself, and they have come to treat have taking the needle, and never sterilized, has used repeatedly. If it is in one's hands to pitch while treating because of carelessness, it is very dangerous. "Once I was pitched, can only deal with it for a while briefly at that time, would insist on finishing the treatment of that patient. " Grandfather's honour in spring is introduced to the reporter, in the locality, the operation illumination should depend on generating electricity. It is a doctor of department of general surgery to draw the shellfish element's captain Zhao AiMin, in order to save the expenses for the patient, his half of operation is finished making the flashlight. There is few narcotic drug in the hospital, the operation must be quick, his hands are pitched for broken over several times too. "Will be infected AIDS, I neither know, nor think of it. In case checked and has been infected with after really coming back home, I finish thinking early, go back to draw shellfishes directly, continue serving local poor people. " " the soap should cut a candy piece bigly or smallly to use " The operating room of the hospital of the man of inferior Sri Lankan can only launch some medium and small-scale surgeries. There is no shadow bulb to mostly damage among the operation, in addition, lose electrical power frequently, the operation will be often leant against the flashlight illumination. Because lack physiological saline, drink and wash the wound in the operation dailily with water, patient's postoperative infection rate is very high. The anaesthesia machine of the operating room performs practically no function too. Cook Meng XianJing of the medical team cries by first day of Guinea. He says that sifts it a bamboo basket, can sift a handful of insects out, the flour is black and stuck. He is a senior cook, even a steamed bun like kind is not steamed well there. Head nurse Zhou Zhuo says: "Medical condition of Guinea is simple and crude to go beyond our imagination. Doctor's office is narrow and small, does not have window, it is extremely sultry. The ward patient is crowded, The smell is awful. A specially small soap, should make good use of many times. The doctor can only wash hands by cutting a candy piece size soap before operation. Wash wound and abdominal cavity to use the bottled mineral water, will shoo away flies in the skill frequently for the patient. " Under such a condition, the medical team has launched a large number of operations. Draw hospital, district of shellfish, from 430 of Conakry, capital of Guinea, living condition and medical terms are very arduous too. Team members describe and say: "Drawing shellfishes, often loses electrical power in dry season, the operation leans against and generates electricity, the electric light is not so bright as the stars. " In under being so abominable environment, Chinese doctor work hard, clinic and quantity, patient of operation, account for, draw over half of hospital, area of shellfish, entirely. Meeting the patient who has money, they treat free voluntarily. They still go to the countryside and volunteer medical consultation, popularize general knowledge of the hygiene for locals. It is the dermatosis patient in the out patient at most. Medicine that medical team bring enough, dept. of dermatology long-range Li oneself start and make up a prescription, formulate 12 kinds of medicine for external use under the limited condition, still give to patients free sometimes. In order to make up a prescription, he is yellow sulphur to chock to feel dizzy, can not eat even meal any more. The local thanks Chinese doctor's local people and patient for expressing gratitude to the Chinese doctor from the deep of the heart from the bottom of the heart, write the letter of thanks, give the egg, fruit. An old aunt uses a piece of heart-shaped ornaments of straw plaiting article, write " doctor Peng " in French in the middle ,It means " Doctor Peng is in my mind " . Grandfather's honour in spring tells reporters, in Guinea, the black friend sees Chinese, can always use Chinese " hello " Greet warmly. Even at time when the coup or turmoil takes place in Guinea, so long as the car of the medical team passes, the crowd always flashes in a passway out naturally. In Guinea, " Chinese doctor " 4 words are a business card passed unimpeded. In order to cite and express gratitude to these Chinese hospital nurses that dedicated in Guinea unselfishly, the national TV station of Guinea is that the 21st batch of medical teams have shot the TV special " the angel's wish ", broadcast repeatedly from 20 o'clock every day to 30 past 20.
