May 19, 2025 marks the 15th "World Family Doctor Day". In response to the call of "Healthy China 2030", we aim to deepen family doctor contract services, enhance residents' health awareness, disseminate health knowledge, and serve community residents. The expert team led by Director Liu Yanxia, a standing committee member of the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control and Management Branch of the Chinese Geriatrics Society and the director of the General Medicine Department of the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command, jointly launched the "Family Doctor Day and Free Health Consultation Week" event with the Hunnan District Hospital of Shenyang City, Hunhewan Community, and Nanhu Community Health Service Center, under the theme of "General Practice Team Enters Every Household, Health Worries Are Answered by Doctors". Deputy Director Liu Liang of the Health Bureau of Hunnan District attended the event and delivered a speech. This event aimed to bring high-quality medical resources to the doorstep of residents through a triple service model of "free medical consultation + contract signing + science popularization", serving over 400 people.

Health screening is meticulous.

At the free medical consultation site, medical staff provided residents with comprehensive health check-up services. Long queues formed in front of the blood pressure, blood sugar and muscle strength testing areas. Doctors not only answered common health questions, but also conveyed scientific prevention and treatment concepts through face-to-face communication, helping people establish the health awareness of "early detection and early intervention".

"Health Promotion Deeply touches People's Hearts

This free medical consultation event covered different communities and provided precise services to meet the diverse health needs of residents. Director Liu Yanxia gave a popular science lecture titled "Managing 'Three Highs' Together to Stay Away from Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases" to the residents, helping them understand the harm of "three highs", how to prevent and make a preliminary diagnosis of "three highs", and answered the residents' questions. Directors Wu Guangzhe and Xu Fu provide personalized medication guidance for patients with hypertension and diabetes.

"Precise and effective chronic disease management

In response to common chronic diseases in the community such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes, the General Practice Department has introduced a "personalized service package". Experts distributed promotional brochures to the residents, not only providing detailed answers and medication guidance for each resident's health issues, but also formulating comprehensive management plans for each patient, including diet, exercise and monitoring.

【 Family Doctor Contract: Your Health "Gatekeeper" 】

A "family doctor", also known as a "general practitioner", is a highly comprehensive and versatile clinical medical talent. They mainly undertake integrated services such as diagnosis and treatment of common and frequently-occurring diseases and referrals, preventive health care, patient rehabilitation, and chronic disease management at the grassroots level, and provide continuous, comprehensive and personalized medical and health services for individuals and families. It plays an extremely important role in basic medical and health services and is known as the "gatekeeper" of residents' health. To promote the hierarchical medical treatment system and enable residents to enjoy more convenient and continuous health management services, the family doctor team signed contracts on the spot for the residents and elaborated in detail on the service contents of family doctors, including: health record management, regular follow-up for chronic diseases, priority appointment and referral, and personalized health guidance. "After signing the contract, the doctor will regularly remind me to recheck my blood sugar. When I feel unwell, I can also call directly for consultation. It's so convenient!" " Aunt Wang, a diabetic patient, said with satisfaction after signing the contract.

Residents' response: Enjoying the services of a top-tier hospital right at their doorstep 

"Usually, it takes a long time to queue up for an expert appointment. Today, the expert came directly to the community. How considerate!" " Ms. Zhang, a resident, came for consultation with her mother's physical examination report and received a detailed answer from the experts of the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command.

Professor Liu Yanxia said, "This event not only enabled residents to enjoy high-quality medical services right at their doorstep, but also further strengthened the collaboration between the hospital and community medical institutions." We are building a full-cycle management model of "screening - intervention - follow-up - referral", and making family doctor services more accurate through intelligent means. The next step will be to develop an AI health assistant to enable 24-hour online health consultation. We will continue to be guided by the health needs of residents, provide more convenient and considerate medical services, and truly realize the beautiful vision of "health without worries, medical answers".
