October 13, 2021 is the 32nd International Day for Disaster Reduction. On the same day, under the guidance of the Shenzhen Disaster Reduction Commission Office and the Emergency Management Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality, Shenzhen Media Group held the science education activities of emergency rescue on International Day for Disaster Reduction with the theme of “Shenzhen Speed, All-people Response” and the graduation certificate award ceremony of “New Shenzhen Citizens - Shenzhen First Responders”.

WANG Xinyuan, LIU Tigong and HUANG Qilong, 3 “safety guards” of Shenzhen Samii International Medical Center (SSIMC, The Fourth People's Hospital of Shenzhen), were selected as the representatives of “Shenzhen First Responders” in 2021 as outstanding models of Shenzhen medical institutions.

First Responder refers to the person who first arrives at or has already been on the site after the occurrence of a disaster, accident, serious disease or other emergencies, who has a rescue certificate and is able to provide on-site emergency rescue, and can carry out on-site evacuation, self-rescue and mutual rescue, information collection and other early management work.

On the Dragon Boat Festival of this year, the three medical staff of SSIMC saved a little girl from suffocating due to choking on food on the nucleic acid collection site, which touched many people. The exemplarystorythat they saved the little girl with professional first aid skills highlights their social responsibility as medical staff with a sense of duty and boundless love as well as their exquisite first aid skills.

They are outstanding representatives of Shenzhen medical staff, and also the pride of SSIMC.

Out of sight of the camera, the medical staff of SSIMC often face various life-or-death situations. It is their duty to rescue the dying emergency patients and give warmth and care to more people in pain. The strength to let more lives get timely protection and let more people find the confidence of rebirth is their initial intention to embark on the road of medicine.

Salute to more “Shenzhen First Responders”! Salute to more people who help others in dire peril!
