Medical workers honored for missions abroad

Speaking at the symposium, He Weiyang, a urology surgeon from Chongqing who worked in Papua New Guinea, said he returned to China with two foreign apprentices. As part of their training in China, the young doctors from the South Pacific nation followed He from the ward to the operating room.

"I will continue to train excellent doctors in our department as reserve personnel for medical aid missions abroad, and provide better guidance for doctors coming to China for further studies," the surgeon said.
