China sends their 4th medical team to Liberia

Since 2005, China has sent medical teams to Liberia every other year. On June 1, 2011 Chinese ambassador to Liberia Zhao Jianhuo and Health Minister Dr.

Walter Gwenigale signed a partnership agreement aimed at strengthening Liberia's health sector by sending the 4th medical team. Under the agreement, Chinese medical doctors will continue to help Liberia's largest referral hospital, the John F. Kennedy Medical Center, in the provision of medical services to the needy.

The agreement provides that the Chinese government will continue to bring Chinese medical doctors to the country to take up various assignments in the health sector of the country. Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
