Xu Min, an expert from the seventh batch of "group-style" medical aid teams in Beijing Therefore, in order to play the role of the stroke center, she has carried out a number of special tasks. On the one hand, she has built a stroke regional collaborative treatment network with the surrounding grass-roots communities, and at the same time, she has strengthened grass-roots publicity and increased people's awareness of seeking medical treatment.

Xu Min introduced that stroke (including acute cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage) is the most common type of cerebrovascular disease in plateau, which seriously endangers the health of plateau people.
In order to improve the medical level of Lhasa People's Hospital in stroke treatment, Xuanwu Hospital started to support the development of the neurology department of the hospital in the form of hospital package department from 2019.
In November 2020, Lhasa People's Hospital was officially awarded the honorary title of "Integrated Stroke Prevention and Control Center" by the Stroke Prevention and Control Engineering Committee of the National Health Commission, becoming the only national comprehensive stroke prevention and control center in Lhasa, Tibet.
On April 10, 2020, the stroke center of Lhasa People's Hospital was officially launched, marking a new level of stroke emergency care in Lhasa.

Xu Min said that after the establishment of the stroke center, stroke patients in Lhasa and surrounding counties and districts can receive standardized intravenous thrombolytic therapy within the "golden time window", which effectively reduces the mortality and disability rate in the acute phase; Long-term follow-up treatment, medication and rehabilitation guidance can be obtained during the period, which effectively reduces the recurrence rate.
In view of the low rate of timely medical treatment for local people after a stroke, Xu Min believes that it is not only necessary to continue to strengthen the process management and quality control of the green channel in the center, but also to build a stroke area collaborative treatment network with the surrounding grassroots communities, while increasing the number of people seeking medical treatment consciousness.
Therefore, with the support of the leaders of Lhasa People's Hospital, Xu Min carried out various forms of special work.
She told reporters that on the one hand, the latest version of the stroke prevention and control norms was trained in the whole hospital, and many times to Lhasa Jiarong Community, Linzhou County Village, and Mozhugongka County Hospital to carry out stroke publicity and education work. We also organize academic conferences on stroke and invite well-known experts in stroke disciplines such as Xuanwu Hospital and Union Hospital to give lectures.”

She told reporters that the center is to protect the health of Beijing-aided cadres in Tibet, provide them with continuous health management and regular physical examinations, and conduct research on altitude diseases.
In addition to the altitude sickness clinic every week, Xu Min also regularly conducts practical health lectures for cadres in Tibet.
Aiming at the common insomnia, headache, dizziness, etc. in the plateau, I used my strengths of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine to carry out methods such as sticking auricular points and dialectically using decoction.
