The integration of medical and ecological health concepts has had a positive and far-reaching impact on the consolidation of village medical resources. Regarding the training of medical personnel, Lin Yue actively sought external medical resources, inviting experts from major urban hospitals to conduct regular training courses in the village. These courses covered disease diagnosis and treatment methods under the ecological health concept, traditional Chinese medicine health preservation knowledge, and specific skills for coping with diseases caused by environmental factors. For example, experts trained village doctors on how to predict potential health problems in advance by observing villagers' living environment and dietary habits, and to carry out targeted prevention and treatment. Simultaneously, the village also selected promising medical personnel to study at urban hospitals and participate in ecological health-related clinical practice and academic research. Statistics show that after a year of training and further education, the village doctors' diagnostic accuracy for common diseases improved by approximately 20%, enabling them to better provide medical services to villagers.
Regarding the sharing of medical facilities, Lin Yue promoted the establishment of a cooperative sharing mechanism between villages and medical institutions in surrounding towns. Through online platforms and logistics, medical examination equipment was shared. For example, village clinics can send villagers' blood samples and pathological slides to town hospitals via specialized cold chain logistics for high-precision testing and analysis. The test results are promptly fed back to village doctors via the network, greatly improving the accuracy of disease diagnosis. Furthermore, some large medical equipment, such as portable ultrasound diagnostic instruments and electrocardiographs, can also be flexibly allocated and used between village and town medical institutions, improving the utilization rate of medical facilities.
In the event of a sudden public health emergency in a village, the concept of ecological health plays a crucial role. Taking an influenza outbreak as an example, Lin Yue, based on the concept of ecological health, quickly organized villagers to implement a series of comprehensive prevention and control measures. First, the village environment was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, with a focus on public places and areas surrounding villagers' residences, reducing the chances of the virus surviving in the environment. Simultaneously, villagers were encouraged to maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as frequent handwashing, ventilation, and wearing masks, to block the transmission routes of the virus. During the outbreak, the village also used various channels such as broadcasts and bulletin boards to promote ecological health knowledge, raising villagers' awareness of self-protection and immunity. For example, the importance of a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and appropriate exercise for strengthening immunity was emphasized, and suitable exercise methods for the village environment, such as walking and Tai Chi, were recommended. Through these measures, the infection rate in the village during this influenza outbreak was significantly lower than in surrounding areas, with the number of infections decreasing by approximately 40% compared to the same period in previous years.
Lin Yue has also achieved remarkable results in promoting the international exchange of ecological health concepts. She actively participates in events such as the International Rural Health Forum, sharing the village's experiences and achievements in integrating medical care and ecological health. For example, she detailed practical cases of how the village improved villagers' health by improving the ecological environment and promoting ecological agriculture, which aroused great interest among many international participants. Regarding cooperation with foreign rural health projects, Lin Yue has established friendly exchange relationships with villages in some developed countries and carried out mutual visits and learning activities. The village selects outstanding medical staff and villager representatives to visit foreign villages to learn their advanced medical service models and ecological health management experiences, such as the successful practices of some European villages in naturopathy and ecological rehabilitation. At the same time, the village also hosts foreign rural health project teams for visits and exchanges, showcasing the village's unique ecological culture and medical and health achievements, such as the application of traditional Chinese medicine in ecological health and the integration of village ecotourism and health preservation. Through these international exchange activities, the village's ecological health concepts and practical experiences have been more widely disseminated, and internationally advanced medical technologies and health management concepts have been introduced to the village, further improving the village's medical and ecological health levels.
The concept of ecological health has also brought innovative impetus to the village-based elderly care model. Lin Yue proposed the idea of building an ecological health and wellness elderly care community and actively put it into practice. The community is located at the foot of a mountain with beautiful scenery and fresh air, surrounded by dense forests and clear streams, boasting a unique natural environment. The architectural design of the elderly care community fully considers ecological protection and the living needs of the elderly, using environmentally friendly materials, with a reasonable house layout and good lighting and ventilation. The community is equipped with comprehensive medical facilities, including a small clinic and rehabilitation center, with medical staff on duty 24 hours a day to provide daily medical and health care services for the elderly. At the same time, there is also an ecological health and wellness garden, where various Chinese medicinal herbs and organic vegetables are planted. The elderly can participate in planting and harvesting activities, which can not only exercise their bodies but also enjoy the pleasure of harvesting. For example, Grandma Li is an elderly resident of the elderly care community. Every day, she tends to her small vegetable garden in the health and wellness garden, planting some green vegetables, radishes, and other vegetables. She said, "Here, I can breathe fresh air, grow my own vegetables, and see a doctor anytime. Life is so pleasant." In addition, the retirement community organizes various ecological and cultural activities for the elderly, such as teaching traditional health exercises and experiencing ecological folk customs, which enriches the spiritual and cultural life of the elderly.
Throughout this process, Lin Yue was always hands-on, her busy figure moving through every corner of the village. She cared about the health of every villager, discussed solutions in depth with experts, and patiently explained the concept of ecological health to the villagers. Her eyes were filled with determination and concern, reflecting her beautiful vision for the village's future and her deep sense of responsibility to the villagers.
As the concept of ecological health has been gradually integrated into village medical services, the overall health level of the village has been improved. Villagers have gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between health and the ecological environment, and they are more consciously protecting the environment and actively participating in the village's ecological construction. Children learn about ecological health at school and remind their parents to pay attention to food hygiene and environmental protection at home; the elderly also share traditional Chinese medicine health tips with their neighbors in their spare time. A healthy, harmonious, and eco-friendly atmosphere has been formed throughout the village.
Standing at the entrance of the village clinic, Lin Yue gazed at the thriving crops in the distant fields and the beaming smiles on the villagers' faces, her heart filled with satisfaction. She knew that the road to integrating healthcare with ecological well-being was still long, but as long as they persevered, the village's future would be even brighter. The villagers would live happy and healthy lives on this ecologically livable land, coexisting harmoniously with nature and sharing the tranquility and beauty of time.
