From advanced hospitals to modern schools, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has witnessed a leap forward in public services thanks to the devoted support of aid teams from across the country. In Pishan County, a catheterization laboratory was just built up with an investment of over 10 million yuan and put into use. Exmet, a man in his forties, is one of the beneficiaries. Members of a medical aid team from east China's Anhui Province acted swiftly and completed an emergency cardiovascular surgery for him in only 68 minutes. In the past, patients in Pishan suffering acute conditions had to be transferred hundreds of kilometers away to regional hospitals. Just last year, a young patient tragically lost his life during such a transfer, and the incident drove the Anhui medical team to be determined to bring the medical resources closer to the people's doorstep. In Turpan City, the new campus of a middle school built with support from central China's Hunan Province has enrolled its first batch of students. Equipped with multimedia classrooms, smart laboratories and a standard sports field, the new school not only offers advanced teaching facilities but also introduces innovative teaching models. Teacher Tuo Hao gave a special chemistry lesson using cloud technology to connect with colleagues in Changsha and Yueyang cities of Hunan. One batch after another, professionals have devoted themselves to Xinjiang aid, leaving behind local talents who can carry on the work. In recent years, medical aid programs have trained nearly 400,000 medical workers, while more than 20,000 teachers have benefited from over 2,000 education aid projects.
