Xinjiang doctor honored for years of selfless service
As a young rural doctor, Uhas Sulayman used to travel on horseback through mountain pastures to reach patients in his hometown of Yumin county in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
More than five decades later, now in his early 70s, he continues to provide medical services to local residents — no longer on horseback, but at a neighborhood health facility.
"I've lost count of how many patients I've treated," he said. "As a doctor, doing my utmost to protect the people's health is my duty."
