As China celebrates Doctors' Day, also known as Medical Workers' Day, on Monday, the world also observes World Humanitarian Day.
Across different corners of the globe, China's medical teams work tirelessly to bring essential healthcare to communities in need and share their expertise and technologies with local doctors. Beyond medical care, they also build bridges of understanding and trust between nations.
To mark both China's 7th Doctors' Day and World Humanitarian Day, let's see the touching moments of Chinese medical aid teams in action abroad, showcasing their compassion and dedication.
