'Most Beautiful Doctor of China' devoted to health of her people

Most Tibetan people regard Losar, or Tibetan New Year, as a time for family reunions, but Tsering Pedron usually spends most of the holiday treating patients at the Ngari People's Hospital in Ngari prefecture, Tibet autonomous region.

"I know it's important to be with family during such major holidays, but if I give my time to my family, how can I face the many patients who need me at any time?" said the 48-year-old director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.

She has only spent New Year with her family once over the past 26 years.
