They told me that in the past, hepatitis patients had to travel for hours to be diagnosed and treated at a city hospital, while many others who were unable to make the journey suffered without treatment. Now, with physicians trained in infectious diseases, hepatitis treatment is possible in rural areas of Xinjiang, and patient outcomes have improved significantly.
在最近的新疆之旅中，我会见了不少来自农村医院的医生，他们都获得了健康快车的培训。他们告诉我，在过去，肝炎病人需要跋涉数小时才能到达城市医院获得诊断和治疗，许多无力前往城市的患者只能放弃治疗饱受病痛折磨。如今，有了经过传染病培训的医生，肝炎治疗可以在新疆农村地区实施，患者疗效显著改善。
