On July 21, Xiangya School of Medicine, in collaboration with Guiyang municipal hospitals, held a large free clinic at Xiangya Village Square in Nanming District, Guiyang. This event provided local residents with disease screening, diagnosis, treatment guidance, and consultation, offering top-notch medical services right in their own community. The clinic featured Xiangya School of Medicine Party Secretary and Chief Physician of General and Hepatobiliary Surgery, Chang Shi; Director of Hospital Management and Chief Physician of Infectious Diseases, Peng Shifang; and Vice Dean of Xiangya School of Medicine and Chief Physician of General Surgery (Pancreatic/Hernia Surgery), Huang Gengwen.
