CHINA-BEIJING-DOCTOR-LIU QINGQUAN-MEDICAL WORKERS' DAY (CN)

Liu Qingquan checks the scanning result of a patient who recovered from COVID-19 at a rehabilitation clinic in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, March 18, 2020. Liu is the president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). He went to Wuhan in January as a member of the National Health Commission high-level expert team to study the local response to COVID-19 and became the head of the Jiangxia temporary hospital, a TCM-oriented temporary hospital in Wuhan. The work of Liu and other experts of the team in Wuhan paved the way for deep involvement of TCM in the fight against COVID-19. Besides medication, the Jiangxia temporary hospital also provides acupuncture treatment and organizes activities such as shadowboxing to help boost the immunity of patients. TCM prescriptions have effectively relieved symptoms, slowed the progression of the disease, improved the cure rate and reduced mortality and boosted the recovery of patients. For his 81-day stay in Wuhan, Liu only packed a few shirts, a coat, a pair of trousers and a pair of shoes. His work was recognized, and TCM has convinced and impressed many COVID-19 patients and their family members with its therapeutic effectiveness. China set Aug. 19 as its Medical Workers' Day to call for respect from society for medical and health workers. To mark the 3rd Medical Workers' Day, Liu wrote down a message saying that the Medical Workers' Day warms our hearts, and the responsibility and duty of medical workers should be kept firmly in mind.
