A volunteer medical team of Fuzhou Municipal CC&TSPM in Fujian Province celebrated its 45th anniversary.
On March 2, members of the free clinic group gathered to commemorate the event, reminiscing about the good old days.
In 1979, believers of the Fuzhou Flower Lane Church established the Flower Lane Church’s Medical Clinic, whose staff were from the internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, traditional Chinese medicine, pediatrics, oncology, stomatology, ENT, acupuncture, as well as massage departments of hospitals in the city.
Since then, in addition to providing disease prevention and health care for church congregations, the clinic has grown and formed the "Fuzhou Christian Free Clinic Team." For over 20 years, the team has conducted free clinics for poverty alleviation, disaster relief, and medical diagnosis as well as consultation in various regions, including mountainous areas, old revolutionary base areas, areas inhabited by minority nationalities, and remote and border areas in Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Sanming, and Ningde cities. Fuzhou Municipal CC&TSPM supports funds for free clinic medicines.
The team currently consists of nearly 40 people, with an average age of around 65, including more than 10 chief physicians, associate chief physicians, and attending physicians.

福建省福州市基督教两会义诊队纪念成立45周年。
3月2日，部分义诊队成员欢聚一堂，分享过去的美好时光。
1979年，福州花巷堂信徒成立了花巷堂医疗室，医护人员来自福州市各医院的内科、外科、妇产科、中医科、小儿科、肿瘤科、口腔科、五官科和针灸、推拿科。
此后，该医务室除了保障本堂信徒疾病预防和保健外，还扩充组建了“福州市基督教义诊队”。二十多年来，该服务队先后到福州城区、漳州、三明、宁德，开展山、老、少、边基层扶贫（救灾）义诊以及医疗诊断咨询。义诊药品资金均由市基督教两会提供。
截至目前，义诊队成员近40人，平均年龄接近65岁。其中担任主任医师，副主任和主治医师共有10多人。
