DJIBOUTI, Aug. 26-- Having sailed nearly 10,000 miles from China, the Chinese hospital ship Peace Ark has arrived in Djibouti, and is now providing free medical services to local people, when the temperature can reach 40 degree Celsius. Mahammad Hassan Abadid, 42, a worker at the old port of Djibouti, was in the cardiovascular department on the second floor. Muhammad worried that he had diabetes, due to obesity. Muhammad said he was touched by the warm and professional services of the Chinese doctors. "As Djibouti's medical conditions are lagging behind, Djibouti is in great need of services such as these provided by Chinese hospital ships," Muhammad said with a smile. At the door of the dental clinic on the second floor of the Peace Ark, more than a dozen Djiboutians and Chinese working in Djibouti are waiting for treatment. One of them was Idriss Zbrattim Moussa, suffering from toothache for over five months. He had been reluctant to seek treatment because of the high treatment cost in Djibouti. With the arrival of Peace Ark and Chinese doctors, however, Moussa's tooth problem was finally solved. Wang Jin, who has been working in Djibouti for about four years at a Chinese-funded enterprise, is often troubled by stomach pain. "I did not expect that today I am able to come to the Peace Ark of such a close distance, I was attended by the Chinese doctors, and I felt warm," Wang said. |
