A church in Guangdong organized Christian doctors to carry out rural medical activities, and nearly 200 Yao ethnic people received treatment and free medicines.
Guangzhou Union Church organized medical staff to go to Woshui Town, Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Qingyuan City, to offer free medical consultations on December 16th, according to Guangdong CC&TSPM.
The free medical team carried sphygmomanometers, blood glucose meters, ophthalmic examination equipment, dental tools, and rehabilitation equipment and offered medical diagnosis and consulting services in 15 subjects, including traditional Chinese medicine, internal medicine, surgery, endocrinology, gynecology, pediatrics, and dentistry. Upon the advice of doctors from diverse specialties, they purchased a batch of common drugs valued at above 80,000 yuan and distributed them to the clients. The local government departments borrowed the classrooms and badminton courts of the town center primary school as the venue and transported people in need by midibus.
Since 2006, the church has been arranging for believers working in hospitals in Guangzhou to offer healthcare services to remote ethnic minority areas and villages, which alleviates people’s problems of having difficulty seeing a doctor or finding a doctor in a large hospital.

广东省一教堂组织基督徒医生开展送医下乡活动，近200名瑶乡同胞接受了诊治，并免费领取了药品。
据广东省基督教两会，12月16日，广州市协和堂组织医护人员赴清远市连南瑶族自治县涡水镇开展义诊活动。
本次义诊团队携带了血压计、血糖仪、眼科检查器材、牙科治疗工具、康复治疗器材；开设了中医科、内科、外科、内分泌科、妇科、儿科、牙科等15个科目的医疗诊断咨询服务。根据各专业的医生建议，她们采购了一批价值8万余元的常用药物分发给就诊群众。当地有关政府部门借用镇中心小学教室和羽毛球馆作为义诊场地，安排中巴将有需要的少数民族同胞送至义诊点。
该堂自2006年开始，每年组织在穗各医院工作的信徒赴边远的少数民族地区及城郊乡村送医下乡，缓解了偏远少数民族地区看病难或找大医院医生难的问题。
