As the best ear-nose-throat doctor in Dujiangyan city, she sees 70 patients a day, sometimes more than a hundred. Her office is always packed with patients from all over the area. (CCTV.com)

Wang Shiqing, Director of Outpatients, Dujiangyan People's Hospital, said, "For me, I have to see patients in surgery and dermatology. It's not easy to find right doctors at this time. Medical background is not enough. They must also be experienced, responsible and hard-working "

The in-patient department is also over-crowded, since one of its two buildings was damaged by earthquake. Now, one building has to house all patients.

Nurses have to put beds in the corridors. And they have to persuade those who get over the critical period to discharge, to free up more beds.

This temporary hospital area looks more spacious than its headquarters. But its in-patient department has also been full in recent months, because parents want the best for their children.

"This place is temporary. But I think this is the best hospital at the moment. The location has changed, but doctors and nurses' service is the same. They take good care of my kid."

Now pediatrics has got help from Shanghai doctors. We were told they'll stay until a new Hospital is set up.

The people of Dujiangyan are hoping by next year, they'll get a brand new and big enough hospital, thanks to the Shanghai's support.
