To mark the 2026 Chinese Doctor’s Day, the 23rd Chinese medical team from Hunan is working at Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare, Zimbabwe, focusing on clinical treatment, medical training, grassroots clinics and cultural exchange.
The multidisciplinary team covers TCM, endocrinology, respiratory medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, general surgery and radiology.
TCM doctors Peng Jie and Li Xuankong use acupuncture, tuina and moxibustion to ease chronic pain for local residents.
Hou Can standardizes hypertension and diabetes management with personalized plans and follow-ups. Liao Shiyu treats respiratory infections and optimizes emergency care guidelines.
Xue Lixia cares for high-risk pregnant women to ensure maternal and infant safety. Chen Yanliang performs delicate orthopedic surgeries to avoid amputations for trauma patients. Yang Zhao manages acute abdominal and surgical emergencies under limited medical conditions. Cao Wang delivers accurate imaging diagnosis to lower misdiagnosis risks.
The team offers hands-on training and case discussions to pass on advanced medical skills, fostering local medical talent. They also hold free clinics in rural and mining areas, providing check-ups, free medicine and health education for remote communities.
Meanwhile, the doctors promote TCM culture and the "preventive treatment" concept, acting as cultural bridges between China and Zimbabwe.
With professionalism and devotion, the Hunan medical workers safeguard local health, boost bilateral health cooperation and deepen China-Zimbabwe friendship on this special festival.
