Workers outline the rewarding experience of helping others
HOSPITAL NURSE
Fang Lan, 47, head nurse in the emergency department at International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital in Shanghai, said the best news she heard recently was that work at the facility was returning to normal.
This means she may soon be reunited with her family at home after working and living at the hospital for the past two months under a closed-loop management system.
"Video-chatting is the only way that I can see my son. Many residents staying at home under closed-loop management expect to go outside for refreshment, but medical workers exposed to risks must keep away from family members," she said.
Fang said more outpatients and fewer emergency patients are now arriving at the hospital than several weeks ago, reducing the mental pressure on medical personnel. "Vigilance against COVID-19 will be maintained as always," she added.
