Ningjin County People’s Hospital: CPPCC members “transformed” into business directors, busy running as villagers

Xu Jun, member of the CPPCC Ningjin County, deputy secretary of the General Branch of the Ningjin County People’s Hospital, and chief physician of the Department of Urology. In order to implement the rural revitalization strategy and speed up the improvement of grassroots medical and health service capabilities, in September 2021, Shandong Province sent the “Business Dean” to Xiangya Town Health Center for a two-year assistance plan.

“Do you often wake up in the morning with nausea and retching? Are there any other symptoms? Stomach distention and indigestion. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a gastroenteroscopy… …” On June 9th, in Xingwuzhai Village, Xiangya Town, Ningjin County, a free clinic team composed of multidisciplinary experts from the Department of Cardiology, Gastroenterology, and Orthopedics of the Ningjin County People’s Hospital was earnestly serving the people who came to consult and inquire. As he explained, the contact person for this event was Xu Jun.

Xingwuzhai Village, Xiangya Town, 10 kilometers north of Ningjin County, is a large village with a population of more than 1,000. Because many young people in the village go out to work, most of the people who stay at home are the elderly and children. It’s not easy to go to and from the county to see a doctor, so I can bear it if I feel uncomfortable. Knowing the actual situation, Xu Jun immediately reported to the hospital leaders. With the strong support of the hospital party committee, on December 9, 2021, Ningjin County People’s Hospital built the first zero-distance service station for free health clinics in Xingwuzhai Village, and organized experts to conduct health lectures and free clinics in the village every month, so that Villagers can enjoy high-quality medical resources and services from county-level hospitals at their doorstep.

“The children are working outside, for fear of delaying them. Usually, they are not seriously ill, so they don’t talk to them. Now, the experts from the county hospital come to the village regularly to see a doctor and teach them about health. “The villager Mr. Liu said happily.

During his tenure as “dean of business”, in addition to regularly attending clinics, Xu Jun also led medical staff to conduct ward rounds and instruct operations; he led the establishment of the first urology clinic in the history of Xiangya Town Health Center, Greatly improved the diagnosis and treatment of urological diseases in the region; actively contacted the “First Secretary” Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the provincial TCM team sent by Xiangya Town to provide business assistance to the Xiangya Town Health Center and improve the service capacity of the township health center ;During the epidemic, donated a projector to Xiangya Town Health Center… “One more identity means one more responsibility. Whether it is a member of the CPPCC, business director, or doctor, they always remind me to stick to it forever. The original intention and true nature of serving the people. In the future, I will make full use of the platform of the CPPCC, combined with the actual work at the grass-roots level, and actively provide suggestions and suggestions for solving the problem of “difficult and expensive medical treatment” for the grass-roots people.” Xu Jun said.
