Cambodian local patients highly valued the free clinic services from the Chinese doctors specialized in traditional Chinese medical treatment here on Friday, saying that helps relief their physical pains and financial burdens.

Assigned by Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, a group of seven traditional Chinese medical doctors arrived in Cambodia on Thursday, planning to offer five free clinic services in both the capital of Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap, the kingdom's famous tourist city, in the coming six days.

Besides, for promoting Chinese traditional medication overseas, the doctors will also deliver one seminar in both cities respectively about the Chinese traditional medicine and treatment, as well as their effects on human health.

A 24 year-old local patient told Xinhua on the condition of anonymity that she highly appreciated the medical service from the Chinese doctors, hoping the prescription from Chinese doctors will eventually cure her gynecological disease.

Another local Cambodian of 76 year-old said that he had been suffering the pain on his back for years. Knowing the arrival of Chinese doctors weeks ago, he does hope he can get help from Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion.

Zhou Xiaobao, the delegation head, told Xinhua that their free clinic services in Cambodia aim at both helping the local patients by Chinese traditional treatment and elevating the exposure of Chinese medication to the local people, promoting the culture of traditional Chinese medication as well.

Starting from 2000, about 20 of such Chinese medical delegation had stepped abroad, offering charge-free services to over 35,000 patients in 20 different countries.
