Grassroots medical institutions are outposts to protect the health of residents. The reunion of the Spring Festival is a critical moment for medical staff to stick to their duty and protect people's lives. In today’s program, let’s take a close look at the Hushu Sub-district Community Health Service Center of Jiangning District in Nanjing.

Wang Bing immediately changed into protective clothing, took the medical bag, and set off to the nursing home. The nurse told Wang Bing that the old man had underlying diseases such as hypertension before and had just returned from hospital after being infected with COVID-19.
A preliminary diagnosis shows that the old man has relatively stable vital signs. Wang Bing gave medication guidance and will continue to make follow-up visits.

At the beginning of the outbreak of COVID-19 infection, the Hushu Sub-district Community Health Service Center of Jiangning District in Nanjing regarded the nursing home as a key area for protection and treatment by equipping the center with a team of family doctors to monitor the health of the elderly, and also opening a ward for the elderly in the nursing home to receive and treat infected patients in time.
