Village doctor inspires and heals

In Jiao's view, from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, China's policies are getting better and better, and the medical conditions in rural areas are improving. He is willing to stick to the cause.

In the new medical reform, the construction of the basic medical and health system has been further promoted, and Jiao has another task－to establish health records for the villagers. Together with his colleagues, he has built up their health records. The files are in a box, on the computer, and in his heart. He knows exactly which old man was sick and which child should be vaccinated.

"A face covered in mud, without the halo of God; hold the ordinary in the hand tightly, this heart has no regrets in life." This is the lyric of the song "As Long as the Ordinary", and Jiao, in an ordinary position, with a physical challenge, interprets the greatness of the village doctor with his own actions.

Rural doctors working on the frontline not only undertake 16 basic national public health services, but also patient medical treatment, epidemic prevention and control and many other tasks. Rural doctors are the link and bridge between the government and the health department to connect the people.

He says treating a patient is like fighting a war, and using medicine is like using a soldier. Their disease is his calling. It is his responsibility to treat the patient well. He never sells expensive medicines. It is also his intention and responsibility to minimize the cost for them. Encouragement is his driving force, and the people's wishes are his direction.
