BEIJING — The China Women's Development Foundation (CWDF) has partnered with China Construction Bank to send medical vehicles to provide medical services to women in poverty-stricken areas.

Under the charity program called "Health Express for Mothers ," 53 ambulances were donated to county-level maternal and child health centers in poor areas in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other seven provincial-level regions.

Medical teams aboard these vehicles will provide medical services to local women, including health examinations, disease treatment and maternal health care.

The "Health Express for Mothers " program, initiated by the CWDF in 2003, has seen medical equipment and over 2,600 ambulances donated to over 1,900 medical institutions at the grassroots level in 30 provincial-level regions, benefiting over 66 million women.
