TEAM HBV 2013 WINTER CHINA OUTREACHChengdu and Nanchong, Sichuan Province

Prior to the trip…

A lot of time and preparation was put into this trip from our American team, Chengdu team, and Nanchong team

Prior to the trip…

Chengdu and Nanchong had meetings every month to train and educate about Hepatitis B Virus

For their last meeting, they went out to the streets to practice the real thing

Purpose of the trip

Our mission of this trip is to advocate the dangers of HBV

We want to reach out to as many places as we could and inquire people as to why they couldn’t get the vaccine

First Day: Shuang Lan Hospital – Warming-up Day

Location: Chengdu It was the first test for us to put our training into

action We set up a stand at the main entrance and

paired off to attract people towards our booth We handed out brochures, presents from

Stanford, and survey forms Many of us were rejected because many people

thought we were passing out ads It was discouraging but we got good experience

so we knew what to improve on the second day

First Day: Shuang Lian Hospital

Second Day: Marketplace – Jing Xi Village Clinic

Location: Nanchong We set up at the corner of a street where farmers

gathered to sell their goods There were many people that day that came to buy

vegetables or other foods This was a frustrating experience for all of us

because many of the people didn’t want to listen to us while expressing haven’t done vaccine.

Great learning experience for all of us; we all learned to deal with rejection

It helped us to fill the survey and estimate the percentage of people not getting vaccine.

Second Day: Marketplace – Jing Xi Village Clinic

Second Day: Xi Hua Normal University

Location: Nanchong We set up our stand in front of the cafeteria of

a college campus We had a lot more success in this place

because the college students were more aware of what HBV was and were more willing to listen to us

Amongst the people who we asked and surveyed, many were very interested and concerned for the safety of themselves as well as their families

Second Day: Xi Hua Normal University

Third Day: Wu Feng Village Clinic

Location: Nanchong We visited this hospital for only 30

minutes in the early morning and left because there were very little people that came to the hospital

We still received some surveys from this clinic however we did not achieve a substantial amount here

Soon, we moved to North Sichuan Regional Hospital

Third Day: Wu Feng Village Clinic

Third Day: North Sichuan Regional Hospital

Location: Nanchong This hospital was one of the most

crowded hospitals we went to It was one of our most successful days

on this trip; we got many surveys and people were willing to listen to us

Third Day: North Sichuan Regional Hospital

Fourth Day: Jing Sa Hospital

Location: Chengdu We and our Chengdu volunteers split up into

two hospitals: one at Jing Sa Hospital and one at Shuang Lan Hospital

A group of young volunteers joined us at Shuang Lan and because it was their first time, we were able to discuss how to talk to the people on the streets and how to attract them towards our booth

It was a successful day overall although Jing Sa did not have that many patients

Fourth Day: Jing Sa and Shuang Lan Hospitals
