Yushu Rescue—We’re Doing Our Best, Part 6
We’re proud to be able to provide the only Tibetan medical services to disaster victims in the hardest-hit areas!
April 28, Sunny
After three days of distributing supplies, we’ve found in practice that there’s room for improvement—specifically, we need to ensure that the supplies reach those who truly lack them. We should prioritize assistance for particularly vulnerable disaster victims whose households consist only of elderly individuals, children, or people with disabilities who face mobility challenges and are unable to come to the distribution points to collect supplies.
On the evening of the 26th, after finishing a day’s work, everyone gathered for a meeting shortly after 9 p.m. to discuss and formulate a new distribution plan, as well as adjust the division of labor. Zejiang Lam and Lu Hui took charge of logistical support. Due to cracks in the pharmacy and warehouse of the local Tibetan hospital, medicines could not be retrieved, forcing the hospital to temporarily rely entirely on Western medical treatments. According to local residents, the racecourse area where our medical aid team is stationed is one of the hardest-hit regions in Yushu. No other Tibetan medical rescue teams have yet arrived in this area, making our team the only Tibetan medical group in the severely affected region of Yushu that uses Tibetan medicine. Moreover, the Tibetan medicines we brought with us are particularly well-suited to the current situation, and we anticipate that the number of patients will remain about the same as in the previous two days. Therefore, Lasang Qudan and Losong Nima will continue seeing patients as usual.
Today, to ensure that our sole Tibetan medicine team can provide smoother services to the disaster victims, Zhang Yong and Wanma Danzeng, with the assistance of Duojitai and Zou Run, reached out to Dean Cai Rang of the Prefecture Tibetan Hospital and Director Xue from the Health Bureau. We informed the Health Bureau about our daily practice of treating over 100 patients and the high demand for Tibetan medicines. The bureau’s leadership expressed great appreciation for the clinical experience and technical skills of graduates from the Gongbu Manlong Yutuo Tibetan Medicine School, and sincerely commended the Tibetan medical professionals from Tibet for their selfless assistance. While continuing to provide smooth Tibetan medical services to the disaster victims, we also feel proud to represent our company and to facilitate exchanges between Tibetan medicine practitioners from Tibet and Qinghai.
In addition, according to the plan discussed last night, Ge Cuo, Sang Cuo, Chen Congwei, Ci Sang, and Danba have selected severely affected areas to distribute relief supplies. During this process, they will pay special attention to identifying disaster victims in particularly dire circumstances (such as elderly individuals living alone, orphans, and patients with severe disabilities who are unable to care for themselves).
What touched all of us deeply during this period was the following: While providing assistance to a family of disaster victims living in poverty, we learned that six members of their neighbor’s household had perished, leaving only three survivors and completely losing all their possessions. Our group went to visit them and happened to meet a monk from their family. After explaining our purpose, we asked what kind of help they might need. But to our surprise, he replied, “For now, our family has enough supplies to meet our basic needs. We’re truly grateful for your care and concern toward us disaster victims. Instead, I’d like you to distribute your limited resources to those disaster victims who are even more in need.”
After learning about this touching experience during the evening meeting and summary, everyone’s enthusiasm and confidence in our rescue work were greatly boosted.
