Grant Description
On 12 August 2016, the Chinese ambassador Zhao Yanbo signed an agreement with the Sierra Leonean Minister of Health Abu Bakarr Fofanah to send specialists in eye surgery and maternal and child care to Sierra Leone.
The medical equipment used by the medical team would be left for the Health Ministry after the doctors leave the country; this equipment seems to consist of 1pac of C30 Emergency/Transport Monitor and 2pcs of CM600 6-channal Electrocardiograph machines.
The Chinese medical team of 20 doctors from Aidi Eye Hospital in China would perform cataract operations (estimated at 500 free operations) and assist in improving maternity care and child development and nutrition at the China-Sierra Leone Friendship Hospital in Jui, a town south of the Sierra Leonean capital.
This agreement was a follow-up to the Johannesburg Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held in December, at which the Chinese President pledged to send medics to Sierra Leone to perform cataract operations.
