家门口的生命线来了

### English Translation Title: A Lifeline at the Doorstep

News Summary
Two needle‑thin tubes, no wider than a toothpick, now link a dialysis machine to 62‑year‑old Ma Jinxiang. Blood flows back and forth through them. Until recently, Ma had to wake up early every Monday, travel to the county town for dialysis, and spend more than ¥10,000 a year on taxis, meals and lodging. It was time‑consuming and exhausting.

Now the XiaMaGuan branch hospital has built a standard dialysis room just outside Pingyuan Village—only three kilometres from his home. Ma says being able to dialyze “at the door” saves money and lets him return home in time for his wife’s hand‑made noodles.

A special survey of Tongxin County shows 44 patients with end‑stage renal disease in its eastern townships have long struggled to get treatment. The new branch is equipped with four dialysis machines and can handle over 2,300 treatment sessions a year. It also sends nurses and doctors to Ningxia Medical University Hospital for advanced training and has set up a “pair‑up” assistance program with regular visits from specialists. The goal is to bring high‑quality, reliable care to the grassroots level and ease the financial and emotional load on patients and their families.

Thoughts and Inspiration
Reducing the time patients spend traveling and putting money back into families is the most basic kindness a public service can offer. Bringing a dialysis unit to the edge of a village is not just a technical upgrade—it is a concrete expression of neighborly care. Scripture reminds us that true compassion comes from sincere mutual help and thinking of others. When we turn goodwill into everyday action, life becomes warmer and more hopeful for everyone.

Scripture
“The Lord is our refuge and strength, an ever‑present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1
