PEACE ARK, July 7 -- Chinese naval hospital ship Peace Ark conducted a whole-process and all-element sea-air medical rescue drill in the Western Pacific on July 6, local time.
和平方舟,7月7日电 -- 当地时间7月6日上午，中国海军“和平方舟”号医院船在西太平洋某海域开展全要素、全流程海空立体医疗救护演练。
The drill was set on a scenario in which an island was hit by an earthquake and the Chinese hospital ship was requested to provide humanitarian medical assistance.
演练以某岛屿发生地震灾害、请求我医院船提供人道主义医疗救援为背景进行。
During the exercise, while the ship was maneuvering towards the target island at high speed, the shipboard ambulance helicopter carrying a medical team composed of experts in internal medicine, surgery, emergency, and critical care set out to pick up the "wounded", and two high-speed ambulance boats with search and rescue teams sailed to the designated sea area to search the "men overboard".
演练中，医院船向目标岛屿高速机动的同时，舰载救护直升机搭载由内科、外科、急诊重症等专家组成的医疗分队前出接护“伤员”，两艘高速救护艇搭载搜救小组前往指定海域搜索“落水人员”。
After a number of the "wounded" and "person overboard" were rescued and transferred to the hospital ship by the helicopter and high-speed ambulance boats, the medical staff immediately carried out triage and quickly transferred the "wounded" to the operating room and intensive care unit, and carried out treatment.
多名“伤员”和“落水人员”经直升机索降和高速救护艇救捞转运至医院船后，海上医院的医护人员迅即展开检伤分类，把“伤员”快速分流至手术室、重症监护室等组室，并进行相应医疗处置。
During the drill, the ship, ambulance helicopter and high-speed ambulance boats responded quickly and cooperated well, and accumulated experience for future medical rescue and medical services in the open sea.
演练过程中，医院船、救护直升机和高速救护艇反应迅速、配合默契，为今后在大洋远海开展医疗救援、提供医疗服务积累了经验。
Chinese naval hospital ship Peace Ark set sail from a military dock in Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang Province, on July 3, to conduct Harmonious Mission 2023 in Kiribati, Tonga, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Timor Leste. It is expected to berth at the Port of Tarawa in Kiribati, the first stop of the mission, on July 15, and will provide seven-day free medical services for local people, personnel of Chinese-funded institutions, overseas Chinese and other groups.
中国海军“和平方舟”号医院船7月3日从浙江舟山某军港解缆起航，赴基里巴斯、汤加、瓦努阿图、所罗门群岛、东帝汶等5国执行“和谐使命-2023”任务，预计7月15日靠泊此次任务的第一站基里巴斯塔拉瓦港，并将为当地民众、中方机构人员、华侨华人等群体提供为期7天的义诊服务。
