Hebei medical team treats Nepali patients

Zhang Wei is proud to have helped put together the 13th Chinese medical team that conducted minimally invasive surgeries at a cancer hospital in Nepal, contributing to the advancement of the country's healthcare services.

Zhang, who led the team of 17 medical professionals and is also head of the Urology Department at the Baoding-based Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University, specializes in minimally invasive surgeries on urological tumors.

Such surgeries are preferred over general operations because they cause less trauma to the body and less postoperative pain for the patient. In addition, patients can recover more quickly.
