Did you know that in 2024 alone, medical teams from the Chinese mainland traveled to 59 countries and regions? Over 1,000 healthcare pros reached more than 2 million patients, proving that health really is a universal language. 🌍❤️
It all started back in 2010 with the naval hospital ship Peace Ark on its first Harmony Mission. By the end of 2024, the ship had docked in 49 countries and regions, treating over 370,000 people aboard its decks.
But that’s not all. Over the past 60 years, more than 30,000 medical personnel from the Chinese mainland have served in 77 countries and regions, helping over 300 million patients in need. Talk about global teamwork! 👩⚕️👨⚕️
During the COVID-19 crisis, the Chinese mainland shipped 500 billion personal protective items and delivered 2.3 billion vaccine doses worldwide. That’s a major boost in the fight against the pandemic.
These efforts were highlighted by Lei Haichao, head of the Chinese mainland National Health Commission, at the 78th World Health Assembly in May. His message was clear: global challenges need global solutions.
From high seas on the Peace Ark to on-the-ground clinics, medical missions from the Chinese mainland are healing the world—one patient at a time. ✨
