📋 Staff Comments

In 2009, the Chinese Government provided a grant for the construction of the Levy Mwanawasa Hospital (project #32627). The 17th Chinese medical team was the second Chinese medical team to have members stationed at Levy Mwanawasa Hospital. Chinese medical teams have been dispatched to Zambia since 1978 and should not be confused with Chinese military medical teams, which have also been dispatched to Zambia. The Chinese military medical teams have been dispatched by the People's Liberation Army and not by Henan Province.
