Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy hospital ship Jixiang Fangzhou departed Abidjan on October 21 after a seven-day stop in Côte d'Ivoire — its fourth port of call on the Harmonious Mission-2026 (和谐使命-2026) deployment — having conducted shipboard consultations, mobile outreach at Bouaké University and a local orphanage, and a medical exchange visit to the Abidjan Military Hospital. The article documents the standard Harmonious Mission template: clinical services paired with military-to-military exchanges and a deck reception, with Ivorian state media coverage cited as evidence of positive reception. The framing around World Breast Cancer Awareness Day and region-specific disease patterns points to deliberate tailoring of the public health messaging to West African audiences, a recurring feature of these deployments that the article records but does not explain in operational detail.

新华社阿比让10月21日电（记者张健）当地时间21日上午，执行“和谐使命-2026”任务的中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船驶离阿比让港，结束对科特迪瓦为期7天的友好访问。上午9时许，科方军政要员、中国驻科特迪瓦大使、国防武官及使馆工作人员、当地民众、华侨和中资机构代表等在码头送行。送行人群挥动中科两国国旗，向医院船及任务官兵挥手道别。访问期间，“吉祥方舟”号医院船利用主平台持续为当地民众提供医疗服务，巡诊分队赴科特迪瓦博瓦尼大学和当地孤儿院开展医疗巡诊，医学交流分队赴阿比让军队医院与科方医务人员进行学术交流。 10月18日是“世界乳腺癌宣传日”，医护人员结合西非地区女性乳腺疾病的发病特点，通过发放宣传资料、开展健康检查等方式，向当地女性普及乳腺疾病防治知识，纠正“没有疼痛就没有疾病”的认知误区，引导她们关注自身健康、重视定期检查。科特迪瓦是海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船执行访问和医疗服务任务的第4站。访问期间，任务指挥员与科军政要员进行座谈交流，增进相互了解，深化友好互信。任务部队还举办甲板招待会，邀请科方各界代表登船交流，共叙中科友好情谊。此次访问受到科特迪瓦社会各界关注。科特迪瓦通讯社、《博爱晨报》等多家官方主流媒体对医院船到访及医疗服务活动进行了专题报道，科方各界人士对中方医护人员提供的医疗服务给予积极评价。随着“吉祥方舟”号医院船离开阿比让港，此次对科特迪瓦友好访问和医疗服务任务圆满结束。
