With more than 30 years of medical practice, Lei Dongzhu, deputy secretary of the National People’s Congress, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and president of Chenzhou First People’s Hospital, has always adhered to “honesty and trustworthiness, and practicing medicine with love”. Lei Dongzhu is a “Three Quan Dean” who is a representative of the National People’s Congress, a national advanced worker, and a national moral model. Multiple honors are “heavy responsibilities” for Lei Dongzhu. She said that the honor of the word “country” reminds her that she always represents the people first and foremost.
At the beginning of 2008, during the freezing rain and snow disaster in Chenzhou City, Lei Dongzhu worked more than 17 hours a day during the 12 days of power outage and water outage. Here, 222 “ice and snow babies” were born safely, and there was no maternal death.
Her consistent opinion is that “medical care is warm, and in the doctor-patient relationship, doctors should take more responsibility”. Lei Dongzhu insists on carrying out voluntary service activities such as caring for and assisting disabled children, and helping families in difficulty with free genetic testing. With the joint efforts of her and her team, nearly 10 million yuan of medical expenses for children have been exempted. “In 2021, when I was on my way from Hunan to Beijing to attend the Two Sessions, a mother of a hearing-impaired child whom we once rescued gave me a video call. She said that she finally heard the child calling her mother.” Lei Dongzhu Say.
Lei Dongzhu introduced that in July last year, Chenzhou No. 1 People’s Hospital adopted the method of “one hospital with multiple districts” in view of the fact that there are many hospital districts and widely scattered District specialized management mode. Under the promotion of this model, the number of outpatient visits in Chenzhou First People’s Hospital increased from 1.55 million to 2.57 million; the number of discharged patients increased from 66,000 to 143,000. Under her appeal, Chenzhou City took the lead in implementing a free genetic testing health service project in Hunan Province in 2018. In 2018, only 698 cases of deformed children were diagnosed and medically intervened in Chenzhou City through prenatal diagnosis.
