Tacheng hospital reports blood-glucose care for a patient from Kazakhstan and other foreign-patient cases

A report published by the Tacheng Prefectural Administration on October 23, 2026 records a patient from Kazakhstan receiving blood-glucose management in the general medicine ward of Tacheng Prefecture People's Hospital on October 21. During the ward round, the patient thanked the doctors in hesitant Chinese, saying that Chinese doctors were good.

The hospital is 12 kilometres from the Bakhtu border crossing. According to the report, its emergency department has received patients from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia and other countries this year. The account brings together several experiences of receiving care in China: illness during a family visit, a return journey specifically for treatment, and the recent October ward scene.

Earlier treatment during visits to relatives

The report looks back to March 21, when a 38-year-old Uzbek man developed sudden chest pain while visiting relatives in Tacheng. His electrocardiogram indicated an acute myocardial infarction. The hospital activated its emergency fast-track pathway, and 58 minutes elapsed between admission and reopening the blocked blood vessel.

Yu Haijie, the hospital's cardiology director and a member of Liaoning's tenth group of support experts sent to Xinjiang, described the vessel reopening and the procedure's result positively. The patient later expressed his gratitude again when he was discharged. The reported 58 minutes measures the interval from hospital admission to reopening the vessel in this case.

Another patient from Kazakhstan suffered an acute attack of gallstones while visiting relatives. Four days into admission, she was preparing for surgery; the account describes her initial anxiety giving way to reassurance. Her sister stayed at her bedside and expressed satisfaction with the hospital's care. This part of the report describes her admission and preparations, without reporting a completed operation.

A July return for leg-vein treatment

A separate case is dated July 22. A 63-year-old patient from Kazakhstan returned to Tacheng specifically to seek care after years of swelling and pain associated with deep vein thrombosis in the left leg. A team led by Song Jianbo, head of interventional medicine and a member of Liaoning's eleventh group of support experts sent to Xinjiang, performed percutaneous placement of an inferior vena cava filter and aspiration thrombectomy.

The intervention took less than an hour. The report says swelling and pain had noticeably eased the following day. The March emergency and July intervention are earlier examples in the October report, distinct from the October 21 blood-glucose treatment.

Yang Zhenyong of the hospital's medical affairs department said that nearly 100 foreign patients had been treated at the hospital this year. Alongside that year-to-date account, he said the hospital would continue improving its processes for treating foreign patients.
