In a swift humanitarian response to Myanmar's devastating earthquake, Chinese medical teams have transformed disaster zones into hubs of hope. Setting up temporary clinics in Mandalay, these mobile units treated 208 patients within days – from earthquake injuries to prenatal checkups.
Equipped with portable X-rays, ultrasounds, and ECG devices, the teams delivered vital services across:
- Internal medicine
- Orthopedic trauma care
- Pediatric support
- Gynecological consultations
'Our handheld devices let us diagnose fractures on-site,' said team leader Dr. Li Wen, highlighting how tech enabled rapid care for elderly residents and children. Over 60% of those treated were vulnerable groups affected by the quake.
This collaboration marks the latest in a series of cross-border health initiatives between Asian neighbors, proving that crises often bring out humanity's best side.
