In the spacious and bright conference room of the hospital, the atmosphere was warm and solemn. My daughter and her equally enthusiastic medical team members were busy holding a preparatory meeting for the free medical clinic.
My daughter stood tall and straight before the projector, its light illuminating her focused face, revealing the determination and resolve in her eyes. Her slender fingers tapped the remote, and a detailed map slowly unfolded before everyone. It was a map of the impoverished areas they planned to visit, each one seemingly carrying the hopes and aspirations of countless patients.
"Look, everyone," the daughter's clear and powerful voice broke the brief silence in the meeting room, "This mountainous area has poor transportation and extremely scarce medical resources. Many villagers can only endure their illnesses when they get sick, and minor illnesses are delayed into major ones. This time we go, we must bring the most practical and effective help." Her eyes slowly swept over everyone in the meeting room, her eyes full of earnestness.
As my daughter explained, everyone's gaze grew more focused. The winding mountain roads and scattered villages on the map seemed to depict the difficult medical conditions faced by local residents. A young nurse frowned slightly and whispered, "It's not easy! We need to bring more medicine this time."
My daughter and her team embarked on a arduous journey of preparation for this free clinic months in advance. They tirelessly communicated with local government departments, exchanging emails and making phone calls, detailing the significance and plans for the free clinic and garnering their support and assistance. In every communication, my daughter carefully considered every detail, ensuring their sincerity and commitment were truly felt. Furthermore, connecting with grassroots medical institutions also expended considerable effort. From understanding common local conditions to exploring how to best conduct diagnosis and treatment within limited resources, countless discussions and adjustments were undertaken to ensure the success of the free clinic.
"Early communication went smoothly. Local governments are very supportive of our work, and grassroots medical institutions are willing to cooperate fully. Issues with venues and equipment have basically been resolved." The daughter breathed a sigh of relief, a gratified smile on her face as she continued, "But the tasks ahead remain arduous. We must seize the time and ensure every step is in place."
The team members nodded, their expressions serious and earnest. At this moment, they were no longer individuals busy in various hospital departments on a daily basis, but comrades about to embark on a special "battle", closely united for a common goal.
As the division of labor progressed, everyone expressed their opinions, sparking a flurry of discussion. Xiao Li, who was in charge of preparing medicines and medical equipment, spoke first. "I think we should stock up on commonly used medicines, like cold medicine, fever reducers, and anti-inflammatory drugs; these are definitely essential. We also need medicines and equipment for trauma treatment, as injuries are common working in the mountains, so they'll definitely come in handy." As he spoke, he quickly wrote down his thoughts in a notebook, his hair swaying slightly as he moved.
Old Zhang beside him nodded slightly and added, "That's right. Medications for chronic diseases are essential. Hypertension and diabetes are more common among the elderly, so you need to know the approximate number of patients in the area and prepare adequate supplies. Regarding medical equipment, in addition to the standard blood pressure monitor and blood glucose meter, I recommend bringing a portable B-ultrasound machine, which can detect some internal organ diseases in a timely manner."
My daughter listened carefully to every suggestion, occasionally scribbling in her notebook. She knew these seemingly trivial details were crucial to whether the free clinic could truly help patients. "Everyone has thought this through very carefully. Let's follow this line of thought. We must strictly control the quality of medicines and equipment. This is our responsibility to the patients."
Meanwhile, Xiao Wang, who is in charge of liaising with local volunteers, also offered his own idea: "I've contacted some enthusiastic local people over the past few days, and they're all very willing to help. I'm thinking of dividing the volunteers into several groups. One group will be responsible for guiding patients at the village entrance and the health center, another will assist us in maintaining order during diagnosis and treatment, and another will help with translation. In some ethnic minority areas, language barriers may hinder communication."
A glint of approval flashed in the daughter's eyes. "This is a great arrangement. Language communication is indeed a key issue. After you go down, everyone should take the time to familiarize themselves with the local dialect and minority languages. You should master simple everyday expressions to facilitate communication with patients."
The atmosphere intensified as they discussed drug reserves and treatment plans. Dr. Chen, a man with many years of clinical experience, pushed up his glasses and said, "Due to varying environments and lifestyles, the characteristics of symptoms in different regions are bound to differ. For example, areas with mountainous habitats may have more joint and rheumatic diseases, while areas with poor water quality may have a higher incidence of digestive system diseases. We need to do our homework in advance and adjust treatment plans based on these characteristics."
My daughter agreed wholeheartedly. She stood up, walked to the blackboard, and wrote a few key words with chalk: "Doctor Chen is right. We must not only treat the symptoms, but also the root cause. In addition to on-site treatment, we also need to teach patients some daily preventive health care knowledge, so that they know how to start with their lifestyle habits to reduce the occurrence of diseases."
To disseminate knowledge more effectively, my daughter personally designed a simple health science handbook for patients in remote areas. This handbook embodied countless efforts, with every page carefully considered and revised. From easy-to-understand explanations of disease causes to simple, practical daily health care methods and illustrated medication guides, every detail was designed to be accessible to residents of remote areas, despite their varying levels of education.
