When it comes to highly contagious leprosy, many people are afraid. 42 years ago, when he first walked into Anbei Village, Yudu County, the only leprosy rehabilitation village in Jiangxi, he stayed up all night and didn't even dare to touch the bed. He squatted on the ground until dawn.
But the doctor's duty kept him here. Over the past 42 years, more than 300 new and recurrent leprosy patients have been treated independently, and corrective and rehabilitation operations have been performed 100 times, and no medical accident has ever occurred. With the joint efforts of Xiao Qingfu and his colleagues, the leprosy prevalence rate dropped from 23.5 per 65438+ 10,000 people in 1966 to 0.5 per1100,000 people in 2009. On 20 10, Xiao Qingfu, who has made outstanding contributions, won the highest horse prize in the field of leprosy prevention and control.
After retirement, Xiao Qingfu is still busy. He insists on going to town once a week. "I will help patients as long as they need it."
