A few days ago, the “Love without Borders – Sending ‘Heart’ Hope to Children in Poverty-stricken Mountainous Areas” campaign co-sponsored by PLA General Hospital, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and China Charity Federation for children with precocious heart disease The first stage of screening was successfully completed in Guizhou. As of December 20, 2014, a total of 9,373 children from primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Yinjiang County, Shiqian County and Wanshan District of Tongren City have been screened, and 31 cases have been confirmed, including 22 children who can be treated surgically. The diagnosed children will come to Beijing in batches to receive surgical treatment in our cardiovascular surgery department. The “Guizhou Tour” is planned to help 150 children with precocious heart disease from poor families. The training session on common heart diseases in children is an innovation of this “Guizhou Tour”. The training will help local primary care doctors to improve the techniques of early detection, early treatment and early prevention of childhood precocious heart disease, which will play an active role in improving the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The training should also be incorporated into regular screening activities in the future. Respecting life and caring for children will keep children in poor mountainous areas free from disease and bring happiness to poor families. Sending “heart” hope for children in poor mountainous areas to Guizhou reflects the concern of the community for poor minority areas and the noble sentiment of the community to care for children in poor mountainous areas and be devoted to public welfare. This good deed brings “heart” hope to the children with heart disease in the poor mountainous areas of Guizhou, and enables the families of the children to see the dawn of happiness. As a well-known public hospital in the whole country, our hospital actively participates in the charity aid cause and helps more children with precocious heart disease to receive aid, which is the embodiment of the government’s work to help the poor and the needy. Three years ago, our hospital signed a charity agreement with China Charity Federation and Shenhua Group to help children with precocious heart disease respectively. In the past three years, our hospital has sent more than 10 medical teams to Tibet, Xinjiang, Guizhou, Yunnan and other remote and poor areas, traveling more than 60,000 kilometers, screening more than 27,000 children and confirming more than 1,000 cases of children with precocious heart disease, and more than 600 cases of children with precocious heart disease have received charity surgical assistance in our cardiovascular surgery department, all of which have been successful.
