Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy hospital ship Jixiang Fangzhou conducted medical outreach at Tema Port, Ghana on October 24, with military physicians performing cataract surgery, pediatric consultations, hernia repair, and traditional Chinese medicine therapies including tuina (推拿) and acupuncture for local patients. The article documents a standard humanitarian mission port call and its primary value is as a record of how PLA Daily frames military medical diplomacy in West Africa for a domestic audience—emphasizing individual patient gratitude and named Chinese physicians rather than operational details. The scale of the visit (number of patients treated, ship complement, or mission duration beyond the single dispatch date) is not reported.

中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船访问加纳期间，医护人员用精湛医术和贴心服务赢得当地民众广泛赞誉—— 温暖守护跨越山海 ■张淦周建龙 “谢谢你，让我重见光明！” 眼睛上的纱布被轻轻揭开后，66岁的加纳老人伊萨慢慢睁开眼睛环顾四周，脸上的紧张渐渐退去，露出喜悦。随后，伊萨紧紧握住医生的手，连连致谢。 10月24日，中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船在加纳开展对外医疗服务的第一天，伊萨是当地首位在医院船上接受白内障复明术的患者。伊萨视力模糊长达6年，严重影响他的正常生活。医院船上的眼科诊室内，中国军医马汀借助仪器设备仔细察看他的眼部情况。综合检查后，马汀告诉伊萨可以在船上进行手术。听到这个消息，伊萨期待不已。手术过程十分顺利。翌日上午，重见光明的伊萨激动地说：“能够遇见医术精湛的中国军医，我真是太幸运了！”看着伊萨双眼重新泛起的光亮，使命感和成就感充盈在医护人员心间。海风掠过港区，阳光洒在码头。乔治娜带着8岁的女儿约瑟芬登上舷梯，走进儿科诊室。约瑟芬患有过敏性哮喘已经1年多。每当雨季来临、空气中花粉和尘螨增多，她便容易咳喘发作，夜里难以安睡。乔治娜带着孩子辗转当地多家医疗机构，病情始终没能得到控制。中国医生马明了解约瑟芬的基本病情后，用听诊器仔细听取她的肺部呼吸音，耐心询问发病频率和日常症状。经过进一步检查，马明为约瑟芬对症下药，并现场讲解哮喘发病前兆和防护要点，规范吸入药物的使用方法，叮嘱孩子远离花粉等过敏原。诊疗结束后，约瑟芬用刚刚学会的中文对马明说“谢谢”，稚嫩的脸上写满灿烂的笑容。一旁的乔治娜深有感触地说：“在中国海军的医院船上，我充分感受到了友好与专业！” 中医诊疗区，推拿、针灸、拔罐等特色中医疗法，也获得当地民众连连称赞。81岁的老人塞西莉娅常年被颈痛困扰，多次服药治疗后收效甚微。康复治疗师郭亚俏轻柔推拿，一套娴熟的理疗过后，塞西莉娅的肩颈疼痛得到有效缓解，她不禁连连夸赞。 52岁的阿科已经被疝气困扰了40余年，由于当地医疗条件有限，他一直未能得到有效治疗。近年来，腹股沟肿物的增大，已经严重影响阿科的工作与生活。 4天前，得知中国海军“吉祥方舟”号医院船即将来到加纳，阿科早早驱车从加纳首都阿克拉来到特马，希望能在船上进行治疗。外科医生葛现才仔细评估病情后，决定为他进行手术。不到1个小时，手术顺利结束。困扰阿科多年的疾病，在医院船上得到解决。当医护人员问“为什么选择来到医院船手术”时，阿科笑着说：“我知道这是中国海军的医院船，我相信中国军医！” 落日熔金，洒满特马港。得到治疗的当地民众沿着舷梯走到码头，微笑着向医院船挥手告别。中国军医的温暖守护跨越山海，在加纳海岸线上留下道道令人难以忘怀的印记。（解放军报特马10月28日电）
