Medical team motivated by intense feeling for compatriots
XINING - Feeling for their compatriots provided the motivation for the Taiwan Red Cross Medical Team to rush to the frontline of the quake zone in Yushu to provide medical assistance in the aftermath of the tragedy.
The team, which has already treated 90 injured residents transferred to the Xining People's Hospital in the first three days following the quake, is now heading for Golmud, the second largest city in Qinghai province, to continue to provide treatment to the injured, team leader Zhang Huanzhen told China Daily.
"We have smoothly carried out rescue work over the last three days. The 90 victims were mostly Tibetan minorities, who can't speak the mandarin, but with the help of voluntary interpreters each patient received specific treatment and their conditions are now improving," he said.
