护士邮寄患者救命药

News Summary
A nursing team in the Integrated Chinese‑Western Medicine Department of Qinghai Provincial Fourth People’s Hospital has been helping HIV‑positive people who work far from home or have limited mobility. For about six years, the nurses have registered for them, picked up their antiretroviral drugs, and mailed the medication back to their families.

The department has 13 nurses. For example, nurse Li Fangfang regularly sends three‑month supplies of antiviral pills to a patient from Qinghai who is working in Jiangsu, saving the patient both travel time and money.

The department also runs public‑education campaigns on HIV prevention, gives talks in schools and neighborhoods, and works to eliminate stigma and misunderstanding. They stress that everyday contact does not spread HIV, promote a patient‑centered caring attitude, and strive for a “zero‑discrimination” environment in the hospital. Their goal is to encourage more people to get tested, start treatment early, and reduce the risk of transmission.

Reflection and Insight
These seemingly small, everyday actions—a phone call, a parcel, a kind word—form the lifeline of medical and social support. When faced with illness and stigma, patience and mutual help can make the journey to recovery smoother and keep people from feeling alone.

A timeless saying reminds us to weave caring into daily life. We don’t need grand speeches; we just need to watch over and support one another wherever we can. May everyone who can lend a hand take one more step, and may those who receive help gain a little more dignity.

Scripture
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
— Matthew 25:40 (NLT)
