BEIJING, Nov. 1 -- At the invitation of the Indonesian military, the Chinese naval hospital ship Peace Ark will set sail on November 2 from Zhoushan, east China’s Zhejiang province, for a friendly visit to Indonesia, said Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, in a written statement released on Tuesday.
During the visit, the naval hospital ship Peace Ark will carry out outpatient diagnosis and treatment of common diseases and frequently-encountered diseases for local people and overseas Chinese in Indonesia, and carry out medical services such as surgical treatment and hospitalization as needed, Spokesperson Tan said.
Spokesperson Tan added that the Chinese naval hospital ship Peace Ark, known as the "messenger of friendship who travels thousands of miles to defend peace", is on its 10th overseas mission. This mission is another vivid practice of the Chinese military to implement the concept of "a community with a shared future for humanity" and "a maritime community with a shared future." It will further enhance the friendly relationship between the two countries, the two militaries and the two people.

CGTN report on Peace Ark carrying out medical operations while in Indonesia:

Upon arriving in Jakarta, medical workers set up tents in the harbor and started treating patients.
"My mother has a heart disease, so I brought her here. She has been under treatment for a long time, but we haven't seen any progress. My friend told me a Chinese hospital ship would come, so we came here for treatment. I heard that a Chinese hospital ship came in 2013 and treated a lot of people. I hope they can help my mom."
"I'm Mrs. Eunice, and I'm 60 years old. My family drove 100 kilometers from our home yesterday to attend the welcome ceremony. The medical team told me they started work today, so I came to the cardiology department. I'm grateful to them for helping us."
This is Mission Harmony-2022 – Peace Ark's 10th humanitarian mission since 2008.
At the invitation of the Indonesian military, the hospital ship will stay in Indonesia for seven days.
Over 100 Chinese medical workers are onboard, with 14 clinical departments and a pharmacy, as well as a helicopter for emergency medical use.
The Chinese Navy earlier said surgical treatment and hospitalization will also be offered if necessary.
Over 700 local residents came to see the doctors on the first day.
Local people say they are impressed by the professional and thoughtful services.

The Peace Ark has sailed 240,000 miles over the past 14 years, serving more than 230,000 people in over 40 countries and regions. Huang Yue, CGTN.
