“When I first arrived in Nyingchi, I found the urban development quite impressive, but medical conditions were still lagging behind,” said Dr. Chen Yuanhan from Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, a member of the 12th batch of medical aid teams to Xizang by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, as he recounted his story of bringing digital and intelligent healthcare to Xizang.

The medical aid team has used digital-intelligent information technologies to sort out common local diseases and form a scientific local disease profile, and in terms of specialized diseases, they have implemented intelligent management systems.

What Dr. Chen is most proud of is the upgraded emergency medical system. Today, when people in Nyingchi dial 120, emergency cameras can connect in real time with the scene. If special pre-hospital treatment is needed, doctors can provide immediate guidance and coordinate with the hospital to prepare in advance.

The hospital has also established a remote consultation center. Experts from inland regions can review remote imaging, even rotating heart and lung images, making remote diagnosis more precise while gaining insight into diseases common on the plateau.

As a medical professional supporting Xizang, he hopes to leverage digital and smart healthcare to ensure that people in the region enjoy equitable health services on par with the rest of the country, thereby elevating the overall public health level of the Xizang Autonomous Region.
