In Kashi, 57-year-old Ms. Reyhan underwent surgery performed by aid-Xinjiang doctors from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong, being finally free of suffering caused by a long-standing rectal prolapse and other ailments, and was discharged three days after surgery. This is a microcosm of how Guangdong's medical assistance protects patients in the border areas.

Since 2015, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital has sent over 20 medical professionals to Kashi. In 2021, when the doctor Wu Xiaojian became the director of the First People's Hospital of Kashi, he led efforts to subdivide the surgical division into five subspecialties. The 9th group of aid-Xinjiang doctors contributed their own expertise. They introduced new equipment, optimized workflows, achieved multiple technological breakthroughs, and implemented various measures to enhance the hospital's service and management. In 2025, support continues with this aid team.

Guangzhou First People's Hospital began its aid work in 2002. To date, it has dispatched nine groups of medical experts, including over ten multidisciplinary experts, to consistently safeguard the health of people in Xinjiang. In the course of aid work, they have not only helped local physicians pass the licensing exams through teaching and introduced new medical technologies locally, but have also built deep friendships with local doctors and their families, adding a warm human touch to aid work.

Guangdong's aid-Xinjiang doctors do more than treat diseases; they look to the long term for medical system building. Through the mentorship programs, training, and remote supervision, they nurture local talent and form stable teams. At the same time, they develop disciplines, standardize processes, introduce advanced concepts, standards, and equipment, and enhance research mechanisms to integrate technologies into hospital development.

Through a series of measures, Guangdong's aid influence endures locally. In Kashi, they have built a homegrown medical team, allowing more patients to enjoy high-level diagnosis and treatment in their hometown.

广东援疆医生扎根喀什，建起“带不走的医疗队”

喀什57岁的热依汗大娘，经广东中山六院援疆医生手术，成功解决直肠脱垂等多年病痛，术后3天顺利出院。这是广东援疆医疗力量守护边疆患者的缩影。

中山六院自2015年起，10年派20余位医者赴喀。2021年该院医生吴小剑任喀地一院院长时，推动大外科细分5个亚专科；第9批援疆医生各展所长，引入设备、优化流程，完成多项技术突破，多举措提升医院服务与管理水平，2025年仍接力援疆。 

广州市第一人民医院的援疆工作始于2002年，至今已累计派出9批、10余名涵盖多学科的专家，持续守护边疆群众健康。援疆过程中，他们不仅通过带教帮助当地医生通过执业医师考试，推动多项医疗新技术在当地落地；更与当地医生家庭建立深厚情谊，用跨越民族的真情为援疆工作增添了温暖底色。

广东援疆医生不仅治病，更着眼长期医疗体系建设。他们通过“师带徒”、培训、远程督导等培养本地人才，形成稳定梯队；同时推动学科建设与流程规范化，引入先进理念、标准与设备，完善科研机制，让技术嵌入医院发展。

一系列举措让广东援疆的影响力“留”在当地，为喀什建起一支“带不走的医疗队”，让更多患者在家门口享受高水平诊疗。
