      Chinese medical workers provide diabetes diagnosis, treatment for Djiboutian teenagers

      A team of Chinese medical workers aboard the navy hospital ship "Peace Ark" has been offering diabetes diagnosis and treatment services for teenagers in Djibouti since their arrival last Friday.

      Invited by Djiboutian officials, the medical team, which includes specialists from internal medicine, ophthalmology, pediatrics and other fields, visited the country's national adolescent diabetes diagnosis and treatment center twice to provide medical assistance and engage in professional exchanges.

      The medical team arrived at the center at 9:00, where teenagers were already waiting accompanied by their parents.

      Chinese medical experts assessed the children's conditions in detail, developed tailored sugar control plans, and advised parents on how to plan a balanced diet for their children.

      "We actively pay attention to the medical records of key patients and ensure long-term follow-up on their treatment, hoping to bring changes and hopes to their lives and futures through our help," said Chen Xiangfang, a doctor.

      "During our diagnosis and treatment, we not only deliver timely and effective treatment, but also carry out preventive education and early screening for diabetic eye complications. This is crucial for slowing the progression of diabetic retinopathy, preventing blindness and disability, and improving the quality of life for our patients," said Gao Yu, another doctor.

      Chinese medical experts also had in-depth exchanges with Djibouti's medical staff and provided diagnosis and treatment suggestions for the long-term care of adolescent diabetes, so as to enhance the professional skills of local medical personnel and deepen the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries in the health sector.

      The Peace Ark docked at the Djibouti Port on Dec 6 to begin a seven-day friendly visit while providing medical services. This marks the third visit to Djibouti by the hospital ship, following its previous visits in 2010 and 2017 as part of the Mission Harmony.

      Nanjing sees spike in home listings after easing restrictions

      2025-04-03 15:57 Last Updated At:16:07

      Nanjing City in east China's Jiangsu Province has seen a surge in housing listings after easing commodity housing restrictions on Monday, as part of broader efforts to revitalize the local property market.

      Under the revised rule, commodity housing units can be listed for sale immediately after the owner obtains a real estate registration certificate. As a result, homeowners have rushed to put their properties on the market.

      A local real estate agency has noted a surge in property listings entering the system. Though information such as price, area, and location is available currently, photos of housing details have yet to be taken and uploaded.

      "Basically, there are relatively more listings in districts like Jiangning, Qixia, and Pukou, while the number of listings in the downtown area is comparatively lower. Taxes and fees still apply; it's just that sales restrictions have been lifted," said Ye Xiaochao, a staff member from a housing agency in Nanjing City.

      According to data from a local real estate agency, the city saw 3,114 new listings on Monday, compared to the usual daily average of around 850.

      Industry experts believe that in the long run, lifting sales restrictions will enhance market liquidity and activity, contributing to more stable housing price expectations. At the same time, Nanjing has announced an expanded scope for housing provident funds, allowing eligible parents and children of homebuyers to apply their accounts toward financing a property purchase.

      This expanded policy for withdrawing housing provident funds to cover a home's down payment now includes the buyer's parents and children, extending eligibility beyond just the homebuyer and spouse.

      When purchasing a property, priority is given to withdrawing funds from the accounts of the buyer and spouse. If the combined balances in both accounts are insufficient, the buyer's parents' or children's account balances can then be utilized.
