Outstanding Chinese medical workers honored at Hunan event

In a grand ceremony held in Changsha, Hunan province, on November 6, 2025, thirty exemplary doctors and nurses were celebrated for their remarkable contributions to healthcare at the “China’s Good Doctors and Good Nurses” event. The event, which featured interviews, documentaries, and stage performances, showcased the inspiring stories of these medical professionals. Among the honorees was Li Zan, Director of the Department of Oncology Plastic Surgery at Hunan Cancer Hospital, who has pioneered advanced cancer treatments in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Another notable figure, Zhu Huifang, a nurse from Huzhou, Zhejiang province, shared her heartwarming experiences as part of China’s medical aid mission in Africa, where she earned the affectionate title “Chinese Mom” from local children. Since its launch in 2017, the program has recognized over 1,100 individuals and 15 teams across 24 events nationwide. Earlier that day, a free large-scale clinic was organized in a Changsha park, where a volunteer team of renowned doctors and nurses provided services to more than 900 residents.
