Shanghai's vice mayor Yang Xiaodu urged local medical sector to
continue providing medical aid service to foreign countries at a recent meeting
marking the city's 40th anniversary of sending overseas medical aid
teams.
"The aid work has been paying off in helping people in countries of
poor medical conditions as well as earning a high reputation for China and
helping enhance the country's image," he said.
Urging local medical officials
to put high attentions to the aid work, he required them to enlist it as key
part of their overall work planning for a year.
He asked the local medical
workers to develop new areas for overeats cooperation as well as continuing the
aid in the existing areas.
To ensure the aid teams are formed by the city's
most advanced medical staff, hospitals and medical departments should take
measures to help solve living problems for their employees who are sent on the
aid team and make good arrangements for the employees' work after their
returning from the overseas task, he added.
Yang also encouraged the medical
sector to dispatch more medical aid teams to provide medical services to people
in overseas countries, mostly in undeveloped areas, and carry them the
friendship from the Chinese people.
