北京和睦家医疗救助基金会(和睦家基金会)与北京成英公益基金会联合发起的“百名乡村教师公益体检活动”,于12月17日在上海和睦家医院浦东院区及新天地诊所圆满完成。100位来自甘肃省武山县的中小学乡村教师在当天接受了免费的公益体检。

United Foundation for China’s Health (UFCH) and Beijing Cheng Ying Charity Foundation jointly launched the “100 Rural Teachers Charity Physical Examination ” on December 17 in Shanghai United Family Hospital (Pudong) and Xin Tian Di Clinic completed free medical checkups for 100 rural teachers from primary and secondary schools in Wu Shan County, Gansu Province.

每一位乡村教师都肩负着独特的使命,他们不仅仅是传递知识,更是传递着希望。他们将大部分时间奉献给了课堂,而很少关注自己的健康。老师们看病需要从县城跑到省城的医院,为了不耽误教学工作,他们几乎很少请假。“平时太忙,有的时候赶不上每年的体检,赶上体检发现了什么问题也不清楚,这次有机会向医生咨询特别好,检查的项目也都是我们最需要的。”一位小学语文老师在体检之后说。

Every village teacher shoulders a unique mission, they are not only to pass on knowledge but also to pass on hope. They devote most of their time to the class and pay little attention to their health. Teachers need to travel from the county to the provincial hospital to see a doctor, in order not to delay the teaching work, they rarely ask for leave. “We’re usually very busy, and often don’t have time or resources for our annual physical examination. I’m glad to have this opportunity  to not only have a very comprehensive exam but also to consult the doctor and really have an opportunity to understand our situation.” A primary school Chinese teacher said after her check-up.

在体检过程中,和睦家基金会也从全科医生处了解到,由于当地海拔比较高,生活环境相对艰苦,特别在疫情后没有得到充分的休息,部分老师存在肠胃问题和耳鸣问题,并且因当地饮食风俗习惯引发的口腔问题尤其值得关注。

During the examination, UFCH team also learned from our UFH doctors that due to the high altitude of the local area, the living environment is relatively difficult, especially after the epidemic, the teachers rarely get enough rest. The most common problems among the teachers were gastrointestinal issues, tinnitus, and dental disease.

本次体检包括血液检查、医生看诊、心电图、胸片等体检项目。通过胸部X光片检查,医生已发现近30位乡村教师存在明显病症,后续医生将结合教师家族史、后续检查做出综合评估,和睦家基金会将为需要进一步治疗的教师提供医疗支持。

The exams were comprehensive, consisting of a history and physical, blood work, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and other tests. Through chest X-rays, the doctors found that nearly 30 rural teachers have remarkable pathology. A comprehensive evaluation will be made based on the teachers’ family history and follow-up examinations. UFCH will also provide medical support for teachers who need further treatment.
