During the event, international students conducted various medical procedures including measuring blood pressure and performing auscultation for the visiting residents, while Chinese students were in charge of measuring blood sugar levels, performing moxibustion therapy, and providing shoulder and neck massages.

The students also took the opportunity to educate the community residents about common chronic disease prevention and management during the summer, as well as dietary precautions to observe.
