The 3rd Session of the Belt and Road International General Practitioners Training Course concluded at the First People’s Hospital of Kashgar recently. Doctors from Pakistan and Tajikistan, alongside 90 grassroots general practitioners from Kashgar’s medical consortiums, joined the training.
Delivered through special lectures, case analysis and hands-on practice, the session covered the foundations of general practice and clinical thinking, the integrated medical and preventive model for chronic disease management, the prevention and control of zoonotic infectious diseases, collaboration mechanisms between primary and specialist hospitals, first-aid skills for general practitioners, response to public health emergencies as well as health education strategies, upholding the principle of making Chinese medical expertise and experience “learnable, applicable and replicable”. During the training, Pakistani doctors also shared their practical experience in primary healthcare delivery under relatively limited resources.
