STORYLINE:

East China's Jiangsu Province has been sending medical workers to northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region over the past years. Thanks to their continuous efforts, medical services in areas that received the medical aid have been largely improved.

The medical staff who come from afar are welcomed by local residents.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): ELANUR REHMET, Patient
"Over the past three years, the doctors aiding Xinjiang have known well about my condition. After taking their prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicines, my health has improved. I'm very grateful."

Advanced medical technologies have also been adopted by the medical team, who set up a digital team to help Xinjiang, which means medical services can be available online at all times.

"The concept of the Internet hospital and the diagnosis and treatment method were introduced here as a project to help Xinjiang. The concept is very important. The way of seeking medical treatment via Internet hospitals is very convenient for both doctors and patients."

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): SUN YUNFEI, Member of Jiangsu medical team
"In this way, we are not alone here but with all my colleagues back home. We integrate high-quality medical resources, management concepts, advanced treatment methods, and diagnostic methods into the local medical system."
