Volunteer medical teams from Beijing visited a remote township in Tibet in July as part of the China Hearts program. Liu Xiangrui reports from Nyingchi.
Despite the heat, 79-year-old Yudron was among the hundreds of local residents that lined up outside the local medical center in a remote township in the Tibet autonomous region waiting for the chance to see visiting experts from Beijing-based hospitals and medical institutions.
The members of the visiting medical team were among 800 medical professionals and volunteers from Beijing that were visiting Nyingchi city as part of an annual nine-day charity program, called "China Hearts" that sends medical volunteers to underdeveloped and remote parts of China.
