China Hosts 2016 Samoa Women and Child Care Training Course

On August 2nd, 2016, Chinese Ambassador Wang Xuefeng met with the 20 doctors and nurses that would participate in the "2016 Samoa Women and Children Nursing Technology Training Course," also known in Chinese as the "2016年萨摩亚妇女和儿童护理技术培训班." Sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, the course involved the training of 20 participants from various medical facilities in Samoa, and was hosted at the Hunan Children's Hospital in Changsha, China for one month.

The training covered topics such as family-centered care, developmental care for premature babies, and prenatal care. The participants also had the opportunity to practice in pediatric and neonatal clinics in China. This is likely to be part of a regularly occurring project.
