“We should educate students to be doctors with warmth,” said Yuan Zhenghong from Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University during a break in the WLA Hospital Leaders Forum in Lingang, Shanghai.

As Yuan said, doctors see patients, who are also people. “In education, we pay attention to the cultivation of the humanistic quality of medical students. They respect life.”

When it comes to humanity, Yuan mentioned a touching photo of a doctor taking an elderly patient to watch the sunset, which caused a sensation online during the epidemic outbreak last year. “The doctor in the photo is a staff member at Zhongshan Hospital. He believes that letting patients feel the beauty of life is helpful for recovery,” commented Yuan. “That is the embodiment of the humanistic spirit of medicine.”
