Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and current heatwaves, Xiamen Service Center for Foreign Professionals has actively responded to the pandemic prevention and control policy, giving full play to the advantages of the service center staff to provide timely and professional services to foreign experts who need help through various channels.
Efficient information delivery
In order to deliver the latest policies to foreign experts living in Xiamen in a timely manner, the service center staff send bilingual policy information to dozens of foreign experts communities online every day.
This information includes where the nucleic acid testing sites are, where they can get reports of nucleic acid tests, and how to use the registration code for nucleic acid testing. A series of questions related to nucleic acid testing are constantly raised in the community. Meanwhile the service center staff keeps their eyes on the community dynamics, listens to their needs and doubts, and carries out targeted services online to help solve various problems.
Door-to-door service
According to the city's pandemic prevention and control requirements, all domestic and foreign residents must take nucleic acid tests. One day, Osama, a foreign expert from Portugal, contacted the service center, saying that one of his business partners was extremely weak after chemotherapy, and had difficulties getting to the testing site. A nucleic acid mobile testing team composed of community staff and medical personnel was sent to provide door-to-door service for the patient.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Care Station
Xiamen Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, together with the Health Commission and Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, are preparing to open the Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Care Station for foreign experts. The city will develop the TCM Health Care Station as an international clinical treatment center, an international TCM culture dissemination base, and an international TCM culture dissemination base.
