In the rugged mountains of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Jumatay Aubakir—affectionately dubbed the 'doctor on horseback'—has spent over three decades delivering healthcare where roads fear to tread. 🏔️ Since 1992, he’s braved treacherous terrain at 3,000+ meters, riding horseback across multiple peaks to reach patients in remote pastoral communities. His secret weapon? A weathered 40-year-old medical kit inherited from his father, a symbol of his family’s enduring commitment to healing.
🌾 Jumatay, honored as a 'Most Beautiful Village Doctor,' refuses to turn away anyone in need, embodying resilience in a region where access to care is as steep as the cliffs he navigates. His story isn’t just about medicine—it’s a testament to human grit and the unbreakable bond between a community and its guardian angel in a saddle.
