Elderly get top medical treatment

Medical personnel were recently tasked with measuring blood pressure and blood sugar and offering medication guidance to the elderly in Zhili village, Shandong province. It was part of the efforts by the local authority to improve the health of elderly in rural areas. The medical staff also used a three-dimensional dynamic interference electrotherapy device to alleviate pain and improve blood circulation for the rural residents with spinal problems, neuralgia and sprains.

"The doctors were very patient, and my health issues have been alleviated," says Wang Qiang, a local villager.

"It's especially convenient to receive professional medical services near home," Wang adds.

More free medical sessions will be offered to local villagers, says Zhao Yunlong, a community official.

The goal is to promote public health awareness and enhance their physical fitness, Zhao says.
