Original aspiration and taking root in the Frontier Health Center

Urad Rear Banner is located in the north of Bayannur City, bordering Mongolia, with a border line of nearly 200 kilometers. It has a vast territory and diverse terrain, including vast grasslands and the majestic Gobi Desert. It is known as the "Hometown of Gobi Red Camels".

Battelle, who was born in 1970, is currently the director of Baoyintu Health Center in Wulatehou Banner. Battle means "hero" in Mongolian. "My father expected me to become a hero on the grassland, use my knowledge to relieve the pain of the herdsmen on the grassland, and become a true hero in their hearts," Battelle said.

In 1991, Battelle, who had completed his studies, took the initiative to return to his hometown and work in a health center located on the Bayin Gobi Plateau on the border with Mongolia.

In his hometown where the medical level is backward, Bater tries his best to provide more services to the herdsmen, and provides services related to common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases in pastoral areas, Sino-Mongolian medicine and other related services. Although he has suffered from kidney disease for many years and knows that his physical condition does not allow him to stay and work in the pastoral area for a long time, he regards the herders as relatives and is never willing to leave.

"The average altitude here is more than 1,500 meters, transportation is inconvenient, it is more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest city, and there is only one medical institution within 50 kilometers of the surrounding area." Battelle said the reason for his persistence.

Provide considerate service to herdsmen as "couriers"

3 motorcycles, 2 tricycles, 1 van, 5 medical kits... This is the "equipment" that Bater has been scrapping after practicing medicine for many years. , in these years, he has traveled more than 1 million kilometers, served more than 20,000 herders, and protected herders on more than 6,000 square kilometers of grassland.

Battelle is worried about the elderly suffering from chronic diseases and often drives to their homes early in the morning with a small medicine box. Many times, he would go to a herdsman's house to see the doctor, then stay at the herdsman's house, and then go to the next house the next day. “Travel is inconvenient in pastoral areas, especially for the elderly, who suffer from various chronic diseases, which makes their movements even more restricted,” Battelle said.

Over the past 33 years, Battelle has carried the medicine box passed down to him by his father and recorded the health status of each herdsman in detail. He has established complete health files for more than sumu2,000 herdsmen across the country, realizing the entire process from birth to death. Full coverage management.

In order to better serve the herdsmen, Battelle not only does his daily work, but also assumes the responsibility of a "courier" for the herdsmen's production and living materials. He carefully collects information on various production and living materials needed by the herdsmen, and plans routes. Ensure that supplies can be delivered to every herdsman in a timely manner.

Urentuya, who lives in Bayingol Gacha, suffers from chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease. For key elderly and frail people like this, Bater will regularly visit door to door to check their physical condition.

"He would visit us door-to-door regularly, patiently check our physical condition, and carefully advise us on various precautions." Urentuya said.

Serve the people wholeheartedly and be a good policy propagandist

After the implementation of the targeted poverty alleviation policy, Battelle led the implementation of small household medicine boxes for herders, the establishment of family health files, and health and poverty alleviation physical examinations. So far, he has signed contracts with about 2,140 residents, with a signing rate of 100%.

"Some herdsmen have no information, so I use the method of preaching to spread the country's policies and health knowledge to the depths of the grassland, which not only safeguards the health rights of the herdsmen, but also facilitates the implementation of national policies." Battelle said.

　"Dr. Battelle returned to his hometown with honor, making every medical staff feel a special sense of responsibility and mission. He is a role model for us to learn from, inspiring us to improve our professional skills and provide patients with better and warmer medical services.
