The three African countries mainly focused on medical and health care, including the provision of medical equipment and the training of local doctors.
In fact, the work on the training began two months ago.
In total, WHO summoned 50 doctors between the ages of 30 and 45 from developed countries and regions such as Japan, the United States and Europe.
It covers disciplines such as surgery, gynecology, internal medicine and infectious diseases.
Among them, the infectious disease department has the largest number of doctors.
This is mainly due to the prevalence of infectious diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and AIDS due to poor sanitation conditions or wars in African countries.
And there are frequent outbreaks of large-scale contagion.
In some particularly backward countries, the number of deaths due to infectious diseases every year, even exceeding the number of natural deaths, has to be said to be extremely terrifying.
This time, Wei Xiong and Diana and others were more of a formality.
Again, doing good deeds should be known, especially by international organizations like the WHO, and more publicity should be given.
to show positive energy and attract more people to join.
Except for Wei Xiong, Diana and Kirston?? Blunt is the deputy director-general, and there are more than 20 other WHO and charitable staff members.
In addition, there are more than 10 journalists, with a total of 41 people.
Early the next morning, the staff of the WHO and the Charity Foundation were divided into three groups and led by relevant officials from the Tunisian government.
The reporters also went with them in three groups.
Each way carried a large number of medicines, as for medical equipment? The Working Group arrived at its destination long before it arrived in Tunisia.
After all, some medical devices are bulky and not easy to transport.
They will travel to the provinces of Gafsa and Tozeur, as well as to a small impoverished town more than 100 kilometers southeast of the city of Tunis.
By 9 a.m.
Wei Xiong appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel wearing a normal T-shirt and jeans. Blunt was already one step ahead.
The two had met three or four years ago.
At that time, it was the establishment of the Wei Hongdao and Lin Xueli Charitable Foundation, Kirston?? Blunt attended the ceremony in Hong Kong as a representative of the World Health Organization.
But at that time, Wei Xiong was more of an upstart in the eyes of many people.
Kirston?? Blunt went to Hong Kong in person to thank Wei Xiong for his generosity in donating $2 billion more than to respect Wei Xiong.
However, today, Wei Xiong has completed a gorgeous transformation.
He is a British viscount, Prince Abradis of Dubai, and many other honorary titles such as the French 'Grand Officer Title'.
He is a close friend of the dignitaries of many developed countries in the world.
When he needed it, even the president of the United States personally stood up to speak for him, and the British prime minister was even angry with several hundred members of parliament directly in the parliament.
Who else dares or he is an upstart?
If three or four years ago, Colston?? Blunt also had a sense of psychological superiority against Wei Xiong, which is now clearly gone.
You even have to be cautious.
The two chatted in the lobby for a few words, and Diana came down with an entourage, and looking at her red face, she was obviously in good spirits.
There were also two reporters in the lobby at this time, one from the New York Times and one from The Guardian.
Seeing Diana appear, the two reporters hurriedly picked up their cameras and took a few photos, but Diana directly filtered the reporters' actions.
I saw her walk up to Wei Xiong with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wei." ”
"Me too, Miss Spencer."
Wei Xiong responded with a smile, and then the two made a veneer salute.
Diana has divorced Charles, and although she is still granted the title of 'princess' by royal privilege, Wei Xiong's title is not wrong.
Of course, it is also possible to call Her Royal Highness the Princess.
While traveling to the city of Laval, more than a hundred kilometers southeast of the city of Tunis, Wei Xiong and Kirsten?? Blount was in a car with license plate No. 2.
And Diana took another car with Monica and Chen Mengyao.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Xiong and Diana just know each other, and even ordinary friends are reluctant, so it is naturally inconvenient to sit in the same car with Diana.
After all, Diana has a special identity and has just divorced, so she still has to avoid suspicion appropriately.
Although the city of Laval is only a little more than 100 kilometers from the capital, it is extremely poor, and there is not a single building with more than 5 floors in the whole city.
Fortunately in the city, skinny children can occasionally be seen on the roadside outside the city.
The convoy came directly to the city hospital, saying that it was a hospital, but in fact it was a small health center, and it was known that the conditions were quite difficult just from the outside.
There is no such thing as a handover ceremony and a welcome ceremony.
Wei Xiong, Diana and Kirston?? Blount exchanged a few words with the hospital leaders, and began to visit and express condolences under the leadership of the other party.
It's really very rudimentary.
The environment of the hospital and the environment in which the patients are treated make it impossible to frown.
Twenty years from now, Tunisia may have one of the highest GDP per capita in Africa, but it is still struggling with backwardness and poverty.
There is very little money that can be invested in health care.
After visiting the three wards, Wei Xiong and the others went to the fourth ward, which was obviously much larger than the others.
There are two rows of beds with a total of 10 beds.
The beds were full of children, the youngest of whom looked only four or five years old, and the older of whom was only in their teens. They share the same characteristics.
That's very skinny.
At this time, the old director of the hospital introduced: "They are all carriers of the HIV virus, some are from the mother, and some are caused by blood transfusion. ”
As he spoke, the old dean sighed.
"In Tunisia, a large proportion of HIV patients come from non-standard medical treatments, and we urgently need to correct this aspect," he said. ”
Wei Xiong glanced at the child closest to him.
nodded and said, "That's true, among the medical equipment provided this time, your hospital should be able to get a blood test instrument." ”
"I think it's going to help you guys a little bit."
Hearing this, the old dean said gratefully: "In addition to the equipment for blood testing, there are three other advanced equipment, and there is no doubt that their role is huge." ”
"I thank you on behalf of all the people of Laval."
Wei Xiong hurriedly said: "Dean, don't say that, in fact, our help is too small compared to the problems that need to be solved. ”
While Wei Xiong was talking to the old dean, Diana had already walked to the side of a bed.
On the bed was a little girl, who looked to be only six or seven years old, very thin, and in a very bad condition, as if she would disappear at any moment.
Diana leaned down and gently stroked the girl's hair.
There is no fear of HIV infection. Although the medical community has been emphasizing that the HIV virus is not transmitted through air and skin-to-skin contact.
But HIV is just terrifying.
What's more, there are no absolutes in this world, who knows if there is an exception to the so-called science, and who will touch this exception?
Therefore, it will undoubtedly take a lot of courage for those who have the courage to come into contact with people living with HIV.
Facing the little girl's innocent eyes, Diana smiled kindly, and then said in French: "Baby, do you know me?" ”
The little girl didn't seem to have the strength to speak, but just shook her head.
Diana smiled again: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, you just need to remember that you have to live bravely, only then can you see the outside world." ”
"Meet more people, the world is more beautiful than you can imagine."
The little girl's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am brave." ”
He stroked the little girl's hair again.
Diana turned around and took a Barbie doll from the entourage: "This is a gift for you, I hope she can be with you at all times." ”
Such a beautiful gift was something that the little girl had never dared to think of before.
Laboriously stretched out his hand and hugged Barbie in his arms, his eyes flashed with joy, and then looked at Diana: "Thank you." ”
Before leaving for Tunisia, Diana prepared some gifts for the children.
So all the children in the ward were given a gift, Transformers, colored pens, etc., and every child was very happy.
This may be the first gift they have received since they were born.
Children are the future of the world and the hope of mankind, and they are the group of people who need the most care, and this kind of care does not need a reason.
Just like Diana at this time.
Her words and deeds, the feelings in her eyes were not the slightest artificiality or disguise, they were completely from the depths of her heart.
Even Wei Xiong was a little moved.
Only then did he finally understand why Diana was able to make the world remember 20 years after her death, she had such charm.
Of course, he couldn't have brought nothing.
Like Diana, he personally handed over gifts to each child and would kindly say a few words of encouragement.
His smile is still very relatable.
The whole process was filmed by the accompanying reporters.
After leaving the ward, Wei Xiong looked at Kirsten with a solemn face. "I intend to increase the amount of funding provided to the WHO by 20 percent each year," Blunt said. ”
Kirston?? Blunt's eyes lit up.
At this stage, the Weihongdao-Lin Shirley Charitable Foundation provides US$80 million annually to WHO for various types of humanitarian assistance.
The funding is run under the auspices of WHO, with the assistance of the Philanthropic Foundation.
and accept the supervision of the charitable foundation.
This is the fund, including three trips to Africa and two previous medical assistance missions to Chinese mainland.
It is precisely because of the support of the charity fund,
WHO will be able to respond more calmly to various humanitarian disasters.
Wei Xiong continued: "I hope that the 20% increase in funding will be used to improve the medical environment for children with AIDS in Africa. ”
He spoke French (the lingua franca of Tunisia is French), so the hospital leaders next to him could understand him.
The old dean doesn't wait for Kirston?? When Blount spoke, he said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Allah will definitely bless you." ”
Wei Xiong smiled kindly.
"Actually, I hope that Allah will bless the suffering children, and my living environment is as good as heaven compared to them," he said. ”
The old dean nodded repeatedly.
Although he doesn't know exactly how much 20% is, just look at Kirston?? Blunt's expression knew it wasn't a small number.
Kirston?? Blunt said very simply:
"That's no problem at all, we have been working to improve the health care environment for people living with HIV/AIDS, and the focus is on children in Africa."
Wei Xiong nodded and didn't say anything more.
He only needs to make a decision, and there will naturally be someone to deal with the specific affairs after that.
The hospital is not large, with only about two dozen wards, but it houses nearly 200 patients, which shows how crowded it is.
The only two aisles are filled with makeshift beds.
One in ten of these patients is HIV. That's just for those who went to the hospital for medical treatment, and even more so for those who didn't come to the hospital.
Many don't even know they have HIV.
This is the main reason why the HIV virus is spreading so rapidly in Africa.
By the end of 2002, nearly 50 million people had been infected in Africa, more than one-eighteenth of the total population.
Some of the worst-hit African countries have experienced economic collapse and population declines.
In Botswana, where 38.8 per cent of adults are infected with HIV, there have been no shortage of young adults for military service in the past period.
The whole country is in turmoil.
In Uganda, a country in eastern Africa, 1.8 million of its 20 million people have been killed by HIV, leaving more than 1.7 million orphans.
This is undoubtedly a long-term destabilizing factor.
In contrast, countries such as Tunisia and Algeria in the sub-Saharan region have effectively curbed HIV due to stable economic development.
Some people may say that these have nothing to do with Wei Xiong's dime.
And that's exactly what happened.
Wei Xiong has no investment in Africa, and even if the Africans die, it has nothing to do with him, but people always have to have some humanitarian feelings.
Whether it's true or not.
Especially for people in his position, it is necessary to do some charity to whitewash themselves, which is also a common practice of the rich.
Visit all the wards.
Wei Xiong and his entourage followed the old dean to a conference room that was only a dozen square meters in size.
The so-called conference table is actually a large table with several old tables put together, and Wei Xiong and others sit on both sides of the table to listen to the report.
The content covers the handover of aid and the progress of the training of doctors.
There is also to listen to the old dean's introduction to the most scarce materials in the hospital. According to the plan, these supplies will be delivered in the next three months.
By the time the meeting was over, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Under the farewell of the old dean and other hospital leaders and doctors, Wei Xiong and his entourage left the hospital and came to a restaurant not far from the hospital.
At noon, Wei Xiong and the others simply ate bread in the hospital.
As for this restaurant? It also looks very ordinary, and it doesn't taste very good, or rather, Wei Xiong is not used to Muslim food.
After filling their stomachs, everyone walked out of the restaurant.
There were six or seven steps outside the entrance to the restaurant, and Diana 'accidentally' twisted her foot as she was wearing high heels.
I was about to fall.
Fortunately, Wei Xiong, who was walking next to him, was 'quick with his eyes' and stretched out his hand to help: "Be careful." Diana looked back and smiled, "Thank you." ”
Wei Xiong also smiled back: "You didn't twist your foot, did you?" ”
Diana stood firm, moved her feet, and said, "No, thank you." ”
It's just a very small episode, but it doesn't stop the peculiarity of the two people's identities, and those reporters seem to have discovered a valuable news point.
After leaving Laval City, Wei Xiong and the others did not return to Tunisia City, but went to the next destination.
Gafsa Province!
Tunisia's roads can only be described as backward, and the capital area is fine, but after leaving the capital area, it has dropped a large level.
The highway is basically only two lanes in both directions.
In addition, some sections of the road are still damaged.
As a result, the drive, which originally took only one and a half hours, was more than doubled, and it took four hours to arrive.
When they checked into the hotel in Gafsa, the capital of Gafsa province, it was already half past nine.
……
Over the next 10 days, Wei Xiong followed the team to seven cities in Tunisia, Cameroon and Ethiopia.
During the trip, Wei Xiong conscientiously fulfilled his responsibilities.
The hotel you live in, the food you eat, are not much different from other people, and you will show the most sincere smile when facing everyone who needs help.
This heart of his is seen by everyone.
In addition, in the eyes of the passing staff and reporters, the relationship between Wei Xiong and Diana has also changed radically in the past ten days.
On the first day of the trip, everyone could see that Wei Xiong and Diana had an ordinary relationship.
Even a little strange.
I don't say anything about sitting in the same car in the car, and I don't even have any communication during the meal, and even if there is occasionally, it's all etiquette.
But as the days passed, the two gradually became acquainted.
When they arrived at the third stop, Ethiopia, they were already able to sit together and talk and laugh, and when the two chatted, Diana's laughter could often be heard.
There was a hint of ambiguity in that intimate appearance.
The ordinary staff didn't think anything of it, because even if Wei Xiong really had something to do with the beautiful Princess Diana, it had nothing to do with them.
At most, it's just to add some after-dinner conversations.
But the reporters who accompanied him were different, desperate for Wei Xiong and Diana to get closer, preferably by going straight to the room and rolling the sheets.
If that's the case, it will undoubtedly be a piece of gossip news that has caused a sensation in the world.
Her Royal Highness the most beautiful and popular princess in British history meets the richest and most charismatic man in the world in unrestrained and frenzied Africa!
The title alone is enough to attract the eyes of countless people.
In order to make this fantasy come true, the accompanying reporters would send representatives to hide aside every night, secretly staring at Diana's door.
In the hope of being able to take a picture of Wei Xiong entering Diana's room.
But there was no gain.
Unbeknownst to them, however, while they were staring at the door, Wei Xiong had already entered Dai Dana's room through another means.
