EMAS has two separate teams serving this region. One assists in the urban areas along the east coast and the other assists rural areas in northeast China. Much help is needed with hospital facilities, equipment and skills upgrading, and with poor families suffering from chronic illnesses requiring medical care which can cost over 30% of their income. Diabetes, arthritis and heart diseases are prevalent.

November 2009

In rural areas along the east coast and the north-east region, the China East Team visits hospitals, clinics and old-age homes. They conduct free clinics for the villagers and donate medicines. Much help is needed with hospital facilities, equipment and skills upgrading. The team shares medical and dental knowledge and provides funding to improve the quality of care.

The team also does skills upgrading in psychiatry and pediatrics, in urban centres, namely specialty and sub-specialty teaching directed to all medical personnel—doctors, nurses and social workers. Funding is needed to cover costs related to facilities, and student travel and accommodations.

Dalian
The Dalijia township, a farming and fishing community of the Dalian Development Area (DDA ), is located near the city of Dalian of Liao Ning Province in northeast China. The China East team visited this region to assist at the small county hospital, which desparately needs improvement. We conducted free clinics for the villagers and lectured to staff as well as to those from the rural clinics. We also donated medicines. CPR class offered individual hands-on practice. Nurses and doctors met in small group discussions on clinical issues and practice. Pharmacists worked together and planned to develop information on each medication for patients. English classes were also given. We also help support poor families suffering from chronic illnesses. Our team funds healthcare plans for 20 poor families.

Huangji
This township is a small farming community situated in the northern part of the JiangSu province. Huangji Commune Health Service Center is the only hospital in the township and serves a population of 45,000. We have provided technical training to improve the standard of care here, but unfortunately, it is still sub-optimal. Beyond basic care, the local residents must venture to the city and incur great financial cost for treatment they can ill-afford. The EMAS China East Medical/Dental Missionary Team is now fundraising to help this needy hospital provide better care in a new facility.

June 2006

The 27-member China East Team went to Suzhou, near Shanghai. They also visited HuaiAn, a city in the northern JiangSu Province. In the second week, they went to Xiamen in the Fujian Province and Dalian in Liao Ning Province, assisting with medical/dental issues.

Suzhou
At the Suzhou Children's Hospital, we held lectures, an oral hygiene workshop, CPR and English classes and a puppet show. At the Suzhou Psychiatric Hospital, mental health lectures and a CPR class were held. 50 psychiatric patients received dental care. Pharmacy lectures were also given at the university. The China East Team has an on-going funding program to help the poor in the oncology ward with medication costs. Officials expressed an urgent need to improve the standard of nursing care and we hope to be able to help with this.

HuaiAn
We gave a number of lectures, demonstrations and panel discussions for the HuaiAn Women and Children's Hospital staff. Two CPR workshops, a dental puppet show and an English class were held. We also participated in the Asthma clinic. A new building is under construction. We helped plan a compressed oxygen/air delivery system to serve the wards.

At the HuaiAn Daycare Centre and Elementary School we held an oral hygiene demonstration and a puppet show for about 500 children. The director told us, "I am so impressed with your work. I am over 40 years old and this is the first time someone has shown me how to brush my teeth properly."

Huangji
Huangji County Hospital is a very small facility with much need of improvement. In previous years, the China East Team has provided funding for an X-ray machine and an ultra sound machine. This year, we hope to help cover the cost of a sterilizer for the dental department.

Xiamen
The team visited the Xiamen Women and Children's Hospital which has recently moved into a new, well-equipped building. We gave lectures and held a CPR workshop. Healthcare workers from the nearby hospitals also attended. The dental team visited the hospital dental clinic and gave a lecture on gum disease and oral hygiene to the staff. They also visited the Cheng Mei County Elementary School, where oral hygiene and a puppet show were presented to 300 children.

Dalian
In Dalian, a modern city in the province of Liao Ning, we visited the homes of three poor families, made consultations at a small clinic, toured a psychiatric hospital and an old folks' home. The Dalijia Hospital is old and desperately needs improvement in all areas. We hope to raise funds to assist in this area.
