[{"type":"text","content":"SHANGHAI, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Zhongchao Inc. (NASDAQ: ZCMD) (\"Zhongchao\" or the \"Company\"), a platform-based internet technology company offering services for patients with cancer and other major diseases, today announced that it cooperates with Shanghai Ximalaya Technology Co., Ltd. (\"Ximalaya\"), a widely popular Chinese online audio sharing platform in China, to launch the first series of audio courses dedicated to cancer education.\nThe cancer education course series, aptly named \"Let's Talk About Tumors\", is presented by a team of esteemed medical professionals from Grade A Tertiary Hospitals. Interspersed with engaging anecdotes, the series is designed to enhance patients' and public's understanding of various aspects of cancer, including its treatment, daily care requirements, and medication guidance, and thereby aims to improve the perception of the disease and increase public health literacy.\nThe audio format of the series has been thoughtfully designed to cater to older cancer patients who often face challenges in reading or watching visual contents due to age-related eye conditions and disease-related complications.
