Doctor Devotes Himself to China-Africa Medical Assistance on Chinese Doctors' Day

On the occasion of Chinese Doctors’ Day, Dr. Hou Can, a physician from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and a member of the 23rd Chinese Medical Team dispatched from Hunan to Zimbabwe, continues to guard local people’s health across thousands of miles in Zimbabwe.

Working at the Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare, Dr. Hou has been committed to clinical treatment and localized medical assistance. Facing the high prevalence of chronic metabolic diseases and insufficient standardized medical management in Zimbabwe, she has tailored diagnosis and treatment plans in accordance with local dietary habits, compiled bilingual health manuals, and launched free chronic disease clinics to standardize medication and follow-up management for local patients.

Adhering to the philosophy of teaching people to fish rather than giving them fish, Dr. Hou focuses on long-term capacity building for local medical teams. She has delivered systematic professional training for local medical staff, covering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), ventilator operation, and defibrillation skills. Through theoretical lectures, on-site demonstration, hands-on guidance and case discussions, she has effectively improved local emergency and critical care capabilities, leaving a sustainable medical force in Zimbabwe.

Besides clinical work and technical training, Dr. Hou also serves as the team’s publicity and translation leader as well as Party building liaison. She actively spreads China-Africa friendship stories via bilingual reports and cultural exchanges, acting as a bridge for medical and cultural communication between China and Zimbabwe.

Dedicating her youth and professionalism to overseas medical aid, Dr. Hou interprets the responsibility and benevolence of Chinese medical workers with practical actions. She will continue to take root in the local front line, empower grassroots medical development, and write a new chapter of China-Africa health cooperation with love and medical expertise.
