16: Wang Shijiang, a specialist in Xuzhou, Jiangsu who is responsible for transporting hematopoietic stem cells, departed from Xuzhou and arrived near the transplant hospital. However, due to heavy rain and urgent water, the specialist was unable to approach the hospital due to severe water accumulation at the entrance.

The next morning, the road was flooded and was transported on foot
At that time, the transplant hospital had no water, power, or network. The hematopoietic stem cell transplant warehouse was on the 27th floor, and there were many people on the hospital stairs without electricity or light. The special staff had no time to take care of it, and they made every effort to climb. At 09:34 am, the hematopoietic stem cells were delivered to the patient's supervising doctor.

At 05:28, it took 18 hours (including 6 hours of driving on rainy nights in the early morning) to safely deliver the warm hematopoietic stem cells to the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation hospital in Zhengzhou, and the handover was smooth.
Emergency response, solving problems
As of the time of publication, all the hematopoietic stem cells from the 5 patients who received medical treatment in Zhengzhou have been successfully transfused into the bodies of patients with hematological diseases. The hematopoietic stem cells have been transported throughout the entire process, and the temperature of the transport box has been maintained at 2-8 ℃.
The coordinators of Zhengzhou Transplantation Hospital advised everyone throughout the entire process, "I don't know how to express my inner gratitude. Thank you, everyone must pay attention to safety. So many people, regardless of their personal safety, forget to eat and sleep, wholeheartedly serve patients, making us burst into tears
The rainstorm is fierce and seriously endangers the safety of people's lives and property. Blood disease patients in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation warehouses are also at risk and waiting for assistance.
Under the guidance of the Red Cross Society of China, with the purpose of saving the lives of patients with blood diseases, the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank bravely faced the extreme weather, launched the emergency plan in a timely manner, tracked the transport of each case of hematopoietic stem cells throughout the chain, and coordinated Tengyipaishi in real time with the cooperation of the Red Cross Society of Henan Province, racing against the clock, going through trials and hardships, and protecting the torch of life in many ways to relay the kindling of life full of hope, Successfully solved difficult problems and lit up the light of life for blood disease patients!
