WAU, South Sudan, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- At the downtown area of South Sudan's second largest city of Wau, Chinese-operated Huayi hospital, is providing what little help it can to patients in a country devastated by more than three years of civil conflict.

The hospital is currently being operated by four Chinese medical practitioners.

Liu Guangchen is head of Huayi Hospital and general practitioner while his wife Ma Mingzhi is in charge of finance and daily living needs of the staff members. Meanwhile, Yu Chao is a laboratory technician and B-scan analyst and Liu Ping'an is helping with distributing prescription medicine and maintaining electricity supply for the hospital. Apart from them, the hospital also hires a translator and two security guards.

There were more than 20 Chinese people working in Huayi Hospital when it was established in 2013.

"At first, there were more than 20 colleagues from China, but they gradually left South Sudan for war and economic reasons, and now there are only about 10 patients per day. But we have provided some patients with free treatment because they have no money," Ma Mingzhi said.

"Poverty, irregular diet and poor living conditions are major factors that lead to stomach problems, liver disease and rheumatism among the local people...but after treatment at our hospital, most of the patients recovered. When we walk on the road, often the locals will say 'Hello' to us. Some people even sent us some mangoes to express their gratitude," Ma said.

The Chinese medical practitioners have been widely approved by the locals for their superb medical skill and sometimes free treatment to the poor.

"We will insist on operating the hospital for as long as possible because we can't leave the patients untreated," Liu Guangchen said.
