Care for the Happy Childhood of Children with Love

On the morning of July 5, the team of the large-scale medical public welfare activity came to Chengguan No. 2 Elementary School of Derge County in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. During the class-break setting-up exercise, children were performing the Gorchom circle dance happily in a circle.

Liu Huagao, Principal of Chengguan No. 2 Elementary School of Derge County, said that he welcomed the large-scale medical public welfare activity carried out in Derge County for the screening of congenital heart disease. “Derge County has a high altitude. Congenital heart disease is relatively hidden. Early detection and early treatment are important for caring for the health of children.”

It is understood that since the launch of large-scale medical public welfare activity 16 years ago, nearly 3,000 children suffering from congenital heart disease from more than 60 districts and counties of 16 cities and prefectures in Xizang, Yunnan, Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan have been treated for free. It protects the health of people on the plateau with the original intention of public welfare and effectively helps local medical and health services to develop for a long term.
