Lu Weiying, 59-year-old doctor, Hainan province

Lu Weiying is a 59-year-old doctor with over 27 years of experience as a reproductive specialist in South China's Hainan province, allowing her to witness the rapid development of reproductive medicine in the region. "Hainan's assisted reproductive technology has become advanced, making it one of the few types of technology in Hainan's medical industry to be exported," she said.

Lu is driven to promote women's health. Since 2019, Lu has championed activities at free clinics throughout Hainan every month. By establishing a network of 18 groups consisting of medical workers across the province, she has provided an avenue for grassroots doctors to enhance their expertise.

"We carry out free diagnoses that allow locals to enjoy high-quality medical resources at their doorstep, and also encourage medical staff to remain at the grassroots level," she said.

Since December 2021, Lu and her colleagues at the reproductive medicine center at the Hainan Women and Children's Medical Center also livestream fertility-related information on WeChat every weekday at 8 pm. This initiative has served as a crucial avenue for patients to gain a comprehensive understanding of infertility and learn preventive measures.

Also as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, considering the needs of those who may not be in a position to start a family at the traditional childbearing age, Lu proposed exploring the feasibility of allowing egg freezing for single women in an orderly manner and establishing egg banks to retain future fertility options this year.
