On March 20, 2013, Liberia and China signed an agreement for the continued dispatch of medical teams from China to serve in Liberia.

Duties of the medical team are to assist the Liberian government, through close cooperation with Liberian medical personnel, to carry on medical work (exclusive of forensic medical work), to train Liberian personnel, and to exchange experience and learn from each other in the course of medical practice.

Th 9-expert medical team arrived in Liberia in October 2013, and stayed during the Ebola outbreak in 2014, joined by several groups of medical teams sent by China to fight Ebola. The additional teams rotate on a monthly basis (#35247). Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve.
