Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy hospital ship Jixiang Fangzhou arrived at Tema Port, Ghana on October 23 for what the article describes as the first visit by a Chinese naval hospital ship to that country, providing surgical and outpatient care across 18 clinical departments to thousands of Ghanaian patients. The ship's 100-plus medical personnel from more than 20 institutions performed hernia and fracture surgeries and ran an ophthalmology clinic averaging roughly 200 patients per day. This is standard PLA Navy medical diplomacy content; its value is as a record of how the PLAN frames hospital ship deployments to West African audiences through Xinhua, not as evidence of a new operational pattern.

“吉祥方舟”情暖加纳民众新华社记者高剑飞 10月27日，在加纳特马港，加纳患者在中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船上排队取号。新华社发（赛特摄）近一年来，45岁的加纳工程师尤金·阿马蒂·安南一直饱受疝气折磨，病情严重到让他难以正常工作，但治疗费用过于高昂，令人望而却步。安南的治疗迎来了转机。当地时间23日，中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船抵达加纳特马港，进行友好访问并提供医疗服务。这是中国海军医院船首次访问这个西非国家。 “26日早上我母亲陪我过来，当天下午4点30分左右，医疗团队就在手术室里成功为我做了手术。”安南在“吉祥方舟”号医院船的康复病房接受新华社记者采访时说。安南对船上医务人员的工作效率和专业精神赞不绝口。安南的母亲索菲亚·托尔希·安南来到病房照顾儿子，也亲身体验了船上医护人员提供的细心且高效的医疗服务。医护人员为她治疗了高血压和眼部疾病。这是10月27日拍摄的在加纳特马港靠泊的中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船。新华社发（赛特摄） “他们的服务太棒了！他们非常专业。无论你问什么，他们都会耐心解答。”索菲亚·托尔希·安南说。停泊在港口的“吉祥方舟”号医院船，设有18个临床科室和5个辅诊科室，可开展60余种手术，船上有来自20余家单位的百余名医护人员。除安南母子外，还有数千名加纳民众在“吉祥方舟”号上接受了医疗服务，其中包括30岁的海岸角大学学生金斯福德·阿杰伊。他在今年1月的一场足球比赛中骨折，由于手术费用高昂，不得不中断治疗，甚至被迫辞去兼职工作，靠母亲接济生活。 10月27日，在加纳特马港，医务人员在中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船上为患者进行眼科检查。新华社发（赛特摄） 26日，“吉祥方舟”号上的医护人员为他进行了手术。记者探访时，他正在病房里。“现在一切都很顺利，我终于可以重返校园，一切都能自理了。真的非常感谢！”他说。此外，不少当地患者因妇科疾病、口腔疾患以及发热等常见健康问题前来就诊。还有患者来到眼科诊室，接受眼疾的诊疗护理。眼科医生黄珍告诉记者，自该船抵达加纳以来，眼科中心每天平均接诊约200名患者。 48岁的加纳教师尼古拉斯·塞纳姆·纳内维就是其中之一。他从小就患有眼疾，视力模糊，戴眼镜也收效甚微。 10月27日，在加纳特马港，医务人员在中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船上为住院患者调整输液袋。新华社发（赛特摄）纳内维被诊断出患有青光眼。“他们给我做了手术，手术非常成功。我今天在这里做复查。医生让我10天后去当地的眼科诊所拆线。我太开心了，充满感激。”纳内维对新华社记者说。（新华社阿克拉10月29日电）
