千里奔赴救小生命

News Summary
Dr. Cai Yunlong, director of the Endoscopy Center at Peking University First Hospital, led a team to Ningxia to perform an endoscopic balloon dilation for a 1‑year‑9‑month‑old girl born with a congenital esophageal stricture. After starting solid foods, little “Moli” was constantly vomiting and fell far behind in weight. Gastrointestinal X‑rays and a CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. The procedure was a success; three days after surgery she was able to eat solid food again and showed clear improvement.

This rescue effort took place within the long‑standing partnership between Peking University First Hospital and Ningxia Women and Children’s Hospital. It illustrates how the nation’s regional medical‑center strategy brings resources and expertise down to local communities. The family expressed deep gratitude for the prompt, caring treatment they received from doctors and nurses in both Beijing and Ningxia. Regional cooperation means more patients can receive high‑quality care close to home.

Reflection and Insight
This story reminds us that patience, professionalism, and mutual assistance can turn despair into hope. The parents’ perseverance, the coordination between hospitals, and the swift arrival of medical staff represent the simple, everyday watchfulness and help that believers are called to offer one another.

The Bible often urges us to care for the suffering, to bring comfort and a helping hand. May we, in our own vocations, work diligently and honestly, offering whatever help we can to those in need.
