This child has had a high fever for several consecutive days. Because he had no money to cure the disease, the mother could only use herbs and bark to make soup for the child to drink.
But the child's condition is getting worse and worse, and he is at risk of death at any time.
There is no choice but to walk 26 kilometers with the child in his arms and come to the hospital closest to home.
When I learned that the child was suffering from malaria , the mother became even more collapsed. Because in Africa, the mortality rate of malaria has always remained high, almost equating with terminal illnesses, and many children have lost their precious lives because of this.
And poor families like them are simply unable to bear the medical expenses.
Just when the mother was in despair, a Chinese doctor took out a green pill and gave it to the child.
This drug is called artemisinin . It is an antimalarial drug developed by China. It has a good therapeutic effect on malaria and has saved the lives of more than 1 million African patients.
Sure enough, that night, the child's high fever subsided. After a series of follow-up treatments by Chinese doctors, the child finally escaped.
Mother was ecstatic when she saw it and praised the Chinese doctors. The whole village called the reincarnation of the miracle doctor.
In fact, since traditional Chinese medicine entered Africa, it has benefited millions of African people, and everywhere it goes, it is even more praised.
Since 1971, China has begun to send medical assistance teams to Africa.
By 2022, 31 batches of medical staff have rushed to Africa.
They sacrificed their families for everyone, not only used their superb medical skills to save lives and help the wounded, but also allowed Chinese traditional Chinese medicine to be carried forward in Africa. Seeing this, I really want to give us Chinese doctors a thumbs up
