Based upon the success of our 2022 project, the Sichuan Provincial Finance Department for Public Health has appropriated 5 RMB per each Muli County resident to be used in 2023 by rural doctors in the county for the detection and treatment of taeniasis. With the Muli County population being 130,000, the total amount is 650,000 RMB (~100,000 USD). To optimize the use of the 650,000 RMB, more rural doctors needed to be trained to treat taeniasis carriers with the herbal medicines. Dr. Li Tiaoying, Sichuan CDC, still has no budget for training in rural areas. She invited BLSCP to continue our collaboration and raise the funding for a 2023 project to extend our 2022 taeniasis training model to four additional townships in Muli County with high taeniasis infection rates. This project was successfully conducted in mid-April 2023. Thanks to 33 different compassionate donors, we have raised $12,014, which is 100% of our goal. To view a project description,
