张晓刚：9月上旬起，中国海军“丝路方舟”号医院船执行“和谐使命-2025”任务，赴南太平洋、拉丁美洲相关国家开展医疗服务。截至目前，医院船已经到访了瑙鲁、斐济、汤加，累计诊疗9200余人次，实施手术1100余例，开展辅助医疗检验6000余人次，还派医疗队赴当地医院、学校、社区开展联合诊疗、学术交流与文化联谊等活动，在此次南太之旅中传播友谊、护佑生命，被称为“希望之舟”、“和平使者”。

Zhang Xiaogang: The PLAN hospital ship Silk Road Ark set sail for Mission Harmony-2025 in early September to provide medical service to relevant countries in the South Pacific and Latin America. The ship already visited Nauru, Fiji and Tonga, and has in total treated over 9,200 people, performed more than 1,100 surgeries, and conducted 6,000-odd medical examinations. It also dispatched medical teams to local hospitals, schools and communities to conduct joint diagnosis and treatment, academic exchanges and cultural activities. During its visit to the South Pacific, the Silk Road Ark builds friendship and saves lives, and therefore is called a ship of hope and an envoy of peace.

怀仁扬远帆，大爱撒五洲。这是“丝路方舟”号医院船2024年入列后首次执行“和谐使命”任务，10月20日医院船将启程赴拉丁美洲，为相关国家开展优质高效医疗服务，以实际行动服务构建人类命运共同体。

Setting sail with benevolence and compassion, the PLAN hospital ships have brought health and hope to people throughout the globe. This is the first time the Silk Road Ark has carried out Mission Harmony since it was commissioned in 2024. On October 20, it will leave for Latin America to provide high-quality and efficient medical service to relevant countries, making substantial contributions to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
