Storyline: The medical system in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region has seen a remarkable improvement over the past decade, thanks to the technologies and experience brought by medical professionals from across the country. In August 2015, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee launched an initiative of “grouped” medical assistance to Xizang. Over the past decade, 203 hospitals in provinces nationwide have sent over 2,000 specialists to support medical and healthcare services in Xizang. Interviews and investigations by the China Media Group (CMG) show that the "grouped" medical aid has fundamentally improved the clinical departments in Xizang's medical institutions that were originally weak or even nonexistent, maximizing the training function of the medical specialists from across the country. Jieji, a young woman in Xizang, suffered from dystonia. In early days, the neurology department at local medical institutions was underdeveloped. Jieji had to travel to Beijing Tiantan Hospital, where she underwent surgery and received a brain pacemaker. In recent years, Beijing Tiantan Hospital has sent multiple groups of medical experts to support the neurology department at Lhasa People's Hospital. With their help, Jieji no longer needs to go to Beijing for her disease. Through the 5G remote consultation platform, her surgeon can remotely debug her brain pacemaker. Lhasa People's Hospital is a designated medical institution receiving "grouped support" from Beijing municipal hospitals. Over the past decade, the hospital has built a high-caliber medical team. In the pediatric intensive care unit, which opened just a year ago, 13-year-old Yagawa received treatment for Henoch-Schonlein purpura and nephritis. The medical specialists aiding Xizang not only bring sophisticated medical technology and advanced equipment to the plateau, but also combine the essence of Xizang's local medicine techniques with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to maximize their clinical value.
