On November 18, the Center for
International Exchange and Cooperation of the National Health Commission held
an online debriefing meeting for the "China-Africa Counterpart Hospital
Cooperation Mechanism" projects, which was attended by more than 50 units
with a total of 178 participants. West China Hospital, as one of the six
demonstration units, gave a report around the theme of "Sao Tome and
Principe Iris de Menezes Hospital Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
Department Construction Project" and "Mozambique Maputo Central
Hospital National Clinical Skills Training Center Construction Project" and
reported on the progress of the two projects and the next work plan.
In the "Sao Tome and Principe
Project," four doctors from Sao Tome and Principe underwent a two-year
standardized rotation training at our hospital. We developed personalized
training plans for them and provided guidance throughout the entire process.
Additionally, we donated 600 bilingual versions of the clinical
electrocardiogram handbook, as well as some small-scale equipment and
consumables. In terms of training local talents, we utilized the Minimally
Invasive Surgery Training Center for basic skills training and conducted remote
consultations using remote consultation equipment. Our next step involves
sending an expert team to Hospital Aires de Meneses for academic exchange and
guidance.
In the "Mozambique Project," the
intelligent laparoscopy training and assessment system donated by our hospital
has been used for multiple training sessions at Maputo Central Hospital,
resulting in significant training effects. Furthermore, we organized academic
exchanges and skills operation training sessions through the remote
consultation platform, and assisted the establishment of a standardized
discussion process for difficult cases at the hospital. Our next plan is to
send an expert team to Maputo Central Hospital for academic exchange,
investigation, and guidance, as well as donating laparoscopic equipment and
consumables to promote the establishment of a "Minimally Invasive Surgery
Center."
