Chinese doctors in Algeria make a difference

Li Li, an obstetrician gynecologist at Xiangyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Hubei province, has treated 20,000 patients, performed surgeries on 13,000 patients, and assisted with 6,000 deliveries in Algeria over the past seven years.

Starting in 2017, Li joined three groups of medical teams from Hubei to aid the North African country. Each group stayed for about two years.

Being busy has been the norm for Li during her aid missions. Once, during her first mission, she performed 21 surgeries in a single day.

"I was extremely tired, but when I saw patients in critical condition I couldn't help but perk up and rededicate myself to saving lives," she said.
