TEN doctors won the "Shenzhen Good Doctors" title at an award ceremony Friday night marking China"s first Medical Workers" Day, which was yesterday.
Another 10 doctors were nominated for the title, the first in the city"s history.
In a speech, Vice Mayor Wu Yihuan extended holiday greetings to the city"s medical workers and thanked medical workers who have made great contributions to the health of tens of millions of residents and played an important role in the city"s development.
A slew of activities were held across the city to mark the special day dedicated to medical workers. On Friday afternoon, Nanshan District commended 10 excellent physicians who work in the district. In Bao"an District, a themed event was launched to look for doctors with good reputations among the public.
According to official statistics, as of June 30, Shenzhen has boasted 34,015 practicing physicians and physician assistants. The ratio of physicians to people has increased to 2.72 per 1,000.
President Xi Jinping on Friday called on medical workers to carry forward the humanitarian spirit to save lives and make further contributions to improving the people"s health.
In his instruction, Xi expressed appreciation for the country"s medical workers" devoted and humanitarian spirits and their efforts to wholeheartedly serve the people"s health.

A great number of distinguished doctors have come out during this process, he said.

China will provide its medical workers with higher salaries, better social welfare and safer working environments, according to an instruction issued earlier last week.
