As the first female head of a medical team sent from Shaanxi to Sudan, Guo Yong, 53, hopes her firsthand experiences would serve as a powerful motivator for more of her colleagues to take part in medical-assistance missions.
Leading the 34th batch of the medical team in 2018, Guo from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, initiated a restoring vision project, providing free surgeries to impoverished cataract patients in Sudan. About 159 impoverished cataract patients benefited from the project, regaining their sight.
