“祖国的强大，人民海军的强大，我感受到了！”

“This medical assistance

has allowed me to truly experience the deep affection

of the military and the people, united as one...”

Recently, in a certain sea area of the Gulf of Aden,

a letter of thanks from the merchant ship “Zhongdamen”

conveyed warmth and emotion.

▲ Thank you letter

Not long ago,

the 49th escort task force of the Chinese Navy,

while on a convoy mission,

received a distress email from the escorted merchant ship “Zhongdamen.”

Captain Yang Huairong accidentally injured his finger while working.

The medical conditions on the merchant ship were limited,

making it impossible to provide effective treatment.

Thus, they sought medical assistance from the escort task force.

▲ The small boat goes out to treat the injured

▲ Treating the injured

Upon learning of this situation,

the task force immediately organized a remote consultation.

After diagnosis, it was found that the patient's wound was continuously swollen and festering.

If timely and effective treatment was not provided,

it could easily evolve into limb gangrene,

even leading to amputation or shock risks.

After assessment, the task force decided to dispatch the Luomahu ship for treatment.

▲ Military doctor inquiring about the injured

▲ Providing diagnosis and treatment for the injured

“Prepare to lower the small boat!”

After the Luomahu ship arrived at the designated sea area,

the patient was transferred to the ship's medical rescue station.

Debridement, wound disinfection, sterile dressing...

The medical staff quickly carried out professional treatment.

The patient's condition was effectively controlled.

Subsequently, the medical staff carefully explained the follow-up care and rehabilitation matters

and provided necessary anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications.

The patient was safely transferred back to the merchant ship.

“The strength of the motherland, the strength of the People's Navy,

I have felt it!”

Yang Huairong expressed his gratitude excitedly.

At the moment of parting,

the crew of the “Zhongdamen” raised the five-star red flag

and unfurled a banner reading,

“Salute to the Navy, Forever Love China.”

The radiant smiles on everyone's faces

shone brightly in the sunlight.
