The Health Express for Mothers project has donated 2,945 vehicles and equipment to more than 2,000 medical units at the grassroots level in 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, benefiting 78.7 million people. The project was launched by the CWDF in 2003.
In 2021, the CWDF initiated a series of activities of sending vehicles to old revolutionary areas along the route of the Red Army's Long March. Fifty-three vehicles were donated to these areas, with a value of more than 10 million yuan ($1.5 million). A total of 251 vehicles participated in the activities, covering a total distance of 1.5 million kilometers.
The activities benefited nearly 550,000 people in 2021, and provided medical consultation to more than 222,000 persons and health screening to more than 272,000 persons. They transported more than 4,000 pregnant and lying-in women, and organized health training to more than 52,000 persons. More than 10,000 copies of reading materials on women's health were distributed.
The CWDF also assisted in building 10 rural medical clinics in Sanming City of Fujian Province, Yan'an City of Shaanxi Province, and Huining County of Gansu Province, and conducted 20 days of training for more than 100 trainee doctors in villages, to help grassroots-level medical workers improve their skills and provide rural people with high-quality medical services.
