Chinese
military medical equipment going abroad
——Nine
pieces of facilities to participate in peacekeeping in the DRC
A ship carrying a team of Chinese medical workers and nine types
of military medical equipment set sail for Africa on February 17 to
join the UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The medical team, dispatched at the request of the UN, has the capability
of treating 40 people and doing 4 major operations a day. To meet
the demand, the team has to have enough medical equipment as well
as expertise.
"The nine types of equipment the team carry will not disappoint
them", military medical experts said with confidence. All of the nine
medical equipment, developed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army,
have reached the advanced international level and won high praises
from the UN.
Among the 9 facilities, field ambulances, epidemic prevention truck
and field medical kits are the three most important ones for the team
to carry out their mission, according to Zhang Kai, commissar of the
Sanitary Equipment Research Institute under the Academy of Military
Medical Sciences.
The field ambulances, with strong cross-county capability, can quickly
carry two wounded persons and one medical worker to the nearest hospital,
winning time for treatment. The medical workers can also make emergency
treatment on the wounded on the ambulances.
The epidemic prevention truck can be used to disinfect the room,
preventing the soldiers, civilians from being infected. The field
medical kits are easy to carry and can be unfolded to serve as operating
platforms in an emergency.
The equipment also include those that can test the quality of
water and food.
