East China’s Jiangsu province has sent hundreds of doctors to Tibet over the past three years in response to the national Tibetan aid project.
The Maizhokunggar County Hospital in Tibet is installed with advanced facilities that are of the same level as the hospitals in the country’s developed regions.
The patients have also been able to pay their medical expenses by Alipay and Wechat.
Making hospitals more informational is a key point in Jiangsu's medical aid project in Tibet in recent years. In the past three years, Jiangsu has invested 6 million yuan in aiding Tibet to build a Jiangsu-Lhasa remote consultation system. After applying this system, the Maizhokunggar County Hospital is now able to connect the seven local towns and towns and also the hospitals in Nanjing.

Farmers and herdsmen in Qushui County, Lhasa, can see the doctor without traveling over a long distance. Dengba Yundan recently sprained his waist. If it had happened in the past, he would have to take a long-distance bus to the Lhasa City Hospital, which is 90 kilometers away, to receive X-ray diagnosis. But now, the new CT equipment installed by the county hospital has saved him trouble.
