This came as part of China's efforts to honor medical and health workers for their contributions in the fight against COVID-19.

A total of 10 individuals and a team, excelling at both medical skills and work ethics, received the title from the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the National Health Commission.
