Since getting off the plane yesterday, Zhou Wen's biggest feeling is that the population of Botswana is really small.

As the second largest city, Francistown, the road is sparsely populated with pedestrians, just like the rural towns in Europe and the United States in TV movies.

However, this phenomenon changed when it arrived at the hospital.

Francistown's city hospitals are busier than the top three hospitals in China, and as soon as they arrive at the hospital gate, ambulances with alarms are coming in and out one after another.

At the entrance of the building, which resembles an outpatient department, there is an endless stream of patients who come to consult with each other.

It's as if all the people of Franciston have gathered here.

"Wait in the car, don't get down yet......," Wei Dong instructed everyone, and then got out of the car with Zhou Wen and two WHO staff.

They went to the administration department of the hospital and explained the situation to the director of the hospital.

The supervisor behaved ...... for their arrival Ennnn, not too enthusiastic.

The reason for this is also very simple, Botswana already has a complete social medical security system, and the more than 20 people of them have played little role in alleviating the local medical pressure, and even to some extent, have increased the administrative workload of the hospital.

So......

Of course, they were sent by the United Nations WHO, and the director did not dare to snub them too much.

Send someone to give them a job.

Caspar Tobias, the person in charge, led the crowd through the long boulevard to the inpatient unit.

When Zhou Wen saw the inpatient department of Francistown City Hospital, he was stunned.

What did he see?

A large complex of buildings. It covers a very large area, visually larger than the entire Jiangzhou First People's Hospital, and is full of lush trees and various flowers and plants, which looks like birds and flowers.

Because buildings in Botswana are generally no more than three storeys, and this complex is the same, with a two-storey design with a slightly more lush tree, which surpasses the buildings.

As a result, the complex looks like a ...... ENNN, the cemetery of the country.

"It's ...... Inpatient department?"

"Yes, there are a lot of critically ill HIV patients in it. ”

When Zhou Wen heard this, he immediately remembered that Botswana has the largest number of AIDS infections in the world, and nearly half of the people in Francistown are infected with AIDS and other opportunistic diseases, even if only one in ten is critical, that is seven or eight thousand, tens of thousands.

Moreover, the total population of Francistown is only 200,000, which is not as large as the population of a larger key town in China, and there are no first, second, third, fourth, or fifth hospitals, as well as various street clinics and black clinics.

Therefore, it is natural to build such a large inpatient department.

Led by Tobias, they arrived at the inpatient unit.

The rooms here are all for four people, and the environment is also very good, with all kinds of equipment, including air conditioning and TV......

In addition, the mental condition of the patients here is different from those who are dying and languishing after suffering from AIDS in China, and the AIDS patients here talk and laugh, and some people dance in the corridors...... It doesn't matter at all, it's like getting a little cold in the country.

What the hell.

In this regard, except for Zhou Wen who was very surprised, Wei Dong and the people at WHO were not surprised and were very calm.

Tobias then arranged work for the aid workers.

The main thing is to do some testing work, as well as safety knowledge publicity and so on...... Botswana people don't talk about messing around, and they don't like to wear condoms, which is probably troublesome.

It is still relatively safe compared to direct contact with people who are critically ill with HIV.

Just when Zhou Wen thought that he would be in the hospital in three months, a system prompt sounded in his ears.

I opened the task panel and looked at it.

[Mission: Medical Assistance (2)

Description: Go out, contact more people, learn more things, you will have more gains.

Requirements: Mobile patrol (not less than 100 hours)

Reward: ????]

Zhou Wen then closed the task panel and said, "Hello Mr. Tobias, I want to take someone to the countryside to do a mobile medical patrol, can you lend me a medical patrol car?"

Tobias shook his head repeatedly, "Nonono~ This is not good. It's good for you to stay here, you don't need to do mobile rounds. ”

Wei Dong also whispered when he heard this: "Didn't we say it was okay last night? If you want to travel, you can go at any time after the arrangements are made here, and forget about the patrol!"

Zhou Wen also whispered: "That...... Wei group, the cryptococcosis vaccine I am researching, still needs to be tested on humans, but there are some things in China...... You know. ”

Seriously, Wei Dong didn't understand.

Virus testing can be done in China, and there are various types of specimens for testing at the Henda P4 Virus Institute, so there is no need to do any strange human tests in Botswana.

However, the core data of the cryptococcosis vaccine has not been disclosed so far, and it is possible, probably necessary, to conduct some tests that I do not understand.

Wei Dong said after thinking about it: "Okay......"

Wei Dong immediately explained the situation to two WHO staff, and of course the WHO people also hoped that they would go to the countryside for treatment.

Since they offered it, they were naturally happy to help.

After being persuaded by WHO staff, Tobias finally agreed.

Also, to ensure their personal safety...... Botswana is very safe and secure because almost the whole country is religious, and everyone is kind, simple, open-minded and ...... Lazy.

This is what Wei Dong told Zhou Wen.

But think about it, the salary is high, the benefits are good, and the government also divides large villas, and it is a 10-to-4 job every day, and one word after work: engage.

Who would sin in such a life?

However, the bandits from South Africa and Zimbaba next door often come to commit crimes, and as a precaution, they are equipped with two security guards. The kind with a gun.

Later, Zhou Wen went to the entourage to pick someone to go on patrol with him.

Everyone thought that they were going to go sightseeing, and they were rushing to go.

Zhou Wen picked three people, Li Feng, Dong Wenying, and Lu Weizhi.

Then Wei Dong stuffed him with another person, Yu Xiaohua.

At half past nine in the morning, a total of 8 people, plus the security guide, set off in a fully equipped American-style patrol car.

"Be safe, go early and come back early, and don't spend the night outside. ”

"Yes, don't worry......"

The group drove northwest along the main road in Francistown...... It is close to the Bozin border, and it is easy to encounter Zimbabi bandits to the east.

Today the weather is very good, the temperature is suitable, the wind is beautiful, and the scenery is unlimited all the way.

Along the way, I saw scattered houses, ordinary bungalows, and European-style country villas, neatly and neatly, surrounded by flowers and trees in front of the house and behind the house, as well as cars.

It is not at all the same as the current situation of Africans who are dressed in animal skins, live in thatched huts, and chase lions and tigers with sharpened wooden spears in their hands.

They stopped in front of one of the homes.

The hostess of the house and the child heard the movement and came out.

There was also the "old king next door" and the dog also ran over.

Including the dog, their skin is dark black, black and purple, the kind that will never be found when they walk in front of you at night and do not speak.

After learning their origin and purpose, the hostess confessed to telling them that she was AIDS and that her two daughters were HIV-positive.

and the old man next door who came to join in the fun, is also living with HIV.

According to "Lao Wang", his HIV was transmitted to him by this woman named Avelina. Originated from a drunk**.

Of course, Lao Wang did not hate her at all, and was even proud to have the same virus as Evelina, which was a testimony of their love...... A strange idea.

Then, as we continued to communicate, we learned something that made everyone even more stunned.

Evelina and the husband and wife of Lao Wang next door turned out to be HIV carriers and lovers...... The two families have been living together in a friendly way for seven or eight years.

“......”

Isn't this what is common in Europe and the United States...... It's really open to play.

Zhou Wen and their hearts were a little unbearable, and they didn't ask who passed it on to whom in the first place.

Li Feng and Lu Weizhi collected blood, and two girls, Dong Wenying and Yu Xiaohua, gave them medicines, and then explained physiological safety knowledge to them.

After more than an hour of busy work, everyone continued on the road.

By noon they had reached a town called Sebine, 50 kilometres to the north-west.

According to official records, it has a population of about 12,000 people, but the medical conditions here are much worse than in Francistown.

In a settlement north of the city, they saw a group of people holding a funeral.

After understanding, it was learned that the deceased died of cryptococcal meningitis caused by AIDS.

Zhou Wen waited for the funeral to be followed by a publicity and education on sexual hygiene.

But the crowd of onlookers was not interested in this, and the condoms they got were directly given to the children, who giggled and blew bubbles with the condoms...... Soon, everyone had a few large bubbles made of condoms in their hands.

Despite their helplessness, Zhou Wen and the others continued to work.

And some people who are willing to have blood tests are tested, and free drugs are distributed to those who are diagnosed.

While Zhou Wen was talking, a Prado slowly passed by, and soon the car reversed back, and the co-pilot's window was lowered, and inside were two young men, a man and a woman.

The young man sitting in the passenger seat shouted in Chinese: "Hey, you are Chinese, right?"

Zhou Wen nodded and said, "Yes!"

The Prado youth looked at the condom balloon in the child's hand and smiled: "Don't bother in vain, tell you, it's useless." ”

Zhou Wen: "It may be useless to publicize it, but it is definitely useless not to publicize it." ”

The Prado youth lit a cigarette and smiled: "When I came to Botswana in '05, the HIV infection rate was 30 percent.

Fourteen years have passed, and every year many international medical teams come to promote health knowledge, and as a result, the infection rate has risen instead of decreasing, and now exceeds 40%.

I don't think it will be long before the infection rate will exceed 50%. ”

Zhou Wen: "......"
