Eight Tibetan children with congenital heart disease have received free medical treatment at Union Hospital, an affiliate of Tongji Medical College at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Central China's Hubei province, in recent weeks.
Led by Dong Nianguo, director of the hospital's cardiovascular surgery department, medics from the hospital traveled thousands of kilometers to Lhokha city, Tibet autonomous region, to conduct examinations of children with congenital heart disease in July.
The team of 10 held screenings in four counties in Lhokha over four days in July.
