Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma) - April 03, 2025 Storyline: In the wake of a massive earthquake that hit Myanmar last Friday, Chinese aid teams have responded by setting up a temporary medical station at a relocation site in Mandalay City on Thursday, offering free diagnosis and treatment services to residents affected by the disaster. The death toll from the 7.9-magnitude earthquake has risen to 3,145, with 4,589 people injured and 221 reported missing, the Myanmar Radio and Television reported on Thursday. At the relocation site in Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city and one of the areas hardest hit by the earthquake, medical professionals from China have been offering needed aid to displaced residents there. From 9:00 to 15:00 on Thursday, a total of 208 people at the relocation site received free medical services from the Chinese medical team. The medical station is equipped with medical departments like internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, gynecology and pediatrics, and also provides diagnostic services like ultrasound, X-ray and electrocardiograms. It has become a vital resource for the displaced people who have difficulties in accessing healthcare after the earthquake. The patients who received services that day included those with musculoskeletal injuries from the disaster, as well as pregnant women, the elderly, and children. In addition, aid workers from the China International Search and Rescue Team used self-developed portable X-ray machines and ultrasound equipment to quickly diagnose patients, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
