Feature: Chinese doctors join hands with locals to improve Uganda's healthcare

KAMPALA, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Healthcare provisions in Africa are one of the toughest hurdles that governments have to contend with.

Many medical centers across the continent are constrained by a lack of medicines, personnel and equipment. In Uganda, a Chinese medical team together with their local counterparts are determined to change the status quo.

One step at a time and with increased government support, the experts believe healthcare provisions in the east African country can improve.

In the acupuncture ward at China-Uganda Friendship Hospital located in the capital Kampala, there is no empty bed.

Patients queue outside the ward waiting for their treatment.

Inside the ward, 43-year-old Ni Wei is busy inserting acupuncture needles and carefully monitoring patients.

In a day, he works on close to 30 patients, many of whom come to the ward for pain relief. Although the workload has been heavy, Ni has never turned town a patient. Many of them are referred to the ward from different parts of the country.

Jamila Nagawa, 34, told Xinhua that she has been getting acupuncture sessions since January. Her vision was impaired due to an accident. After being treated by Mulago National Referral Hospital, she was referred to Ni for further treatment.

"I have slowly regained my eye sight," Nagawa said.

Betty Jurua, 68, heard about acupuncture in her home area Arua, about 500 km northwest of Kampala.

"I had pain from my right hand caused by blood pressure. I tried everything but failed," she told Xinhua. "Then I started getting acupuncture. I am now improving. I can now move and work," she said.

Jurua said there are many people from Arua being treated here. "One is inside there getting acupuncture. He is suffering from a stroke."

In the surgical ward, surgeon Yang Jun is readying himself for an operation while an intern doctor briefs him on the progress in preparing the patient for operation.

On average Yang carries out about six operations a week and sees 40 to 60 patients in a weekly clinic.

He told Xinhua that although the workload is not heavy for him, most of the time is lost through translation.

"Many local people do not speak English very well. I often spend extra time to communicate with them. The most important thing we care about is the patient," he said."

"The equipment here is not as good as in China. But we don't care much about the circumstances here," he said.

Besides operations and diagnoses, Yang also has the responsibility of training intern doctors that have been posted at the hospital.

One of the interns, Douglas Mutenyo, said he's been allowed to get involved in the operations.

Yang says the transfer of skills is one of the critical goals of the Chinese medical team. Training someone allows that person to train someone else, causing a ripple effect, he said.

After a busy working day, Yang plays football or goes to the gym to shed off the fatigue. When he misses his wife and two children back in Yunnan province in China, he uses the mobile messaging and video app WeChat.

Ni and Yang are part of a team of seven medical experts that China sent to Uganda. The Asian country has been sending medical teams on a rotational basis to the country since 1983.

Cong Linhai, head of the current medical team, which is the 18th team to Uganda, told Xinhua that their mission is to provide healthcare and share skills with their Ugandan counterpart.

Edward Kyomugisha, a senior consultant surgeon, told Xinhua that the Chinese medical teams have played an important role at the China-Uganda Friendship Hospital.

"The Chinese medical team is a great relief to the workforce here. We can afford to have five clinics for patients every week. Before, we used to have like two clinics a week. Each clinic is full of patients," Kyomugisha said.

"Personally, I am not experienced in laparoscopy, but I am learning from the team," he said.
