At the site, medical team members conducted basic check-ups for the teachers and students, including vision tests, height and weight measurements, and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) examinations. They also set up specialized consultation windows for departments such as traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, gynecology, infectious diseases, general surgery, and orthopedics. The team’s professional and meticulous care, along with their patient and warm communication, earned unanimous praise from the teachers and students. One teacher remarked, “Chinese doctors have taken the initiative to come to our school to conduct a free clinic. They are very professional, friendly, and enthusiastic, and we are very grateful!”
