Grant Description

China has been sending military medical teams to Zambia since 1984. On February 4, 2016, China’s 19th military medical team arrived in Zambia. It was stationed at Maina Soko Hospital in Lusaka and completed a 12-month term of service. On January 25, 2017, a welcome-home reception was held for the team.

📋 Staff Comments

Chinese military medical teams should not be confused with regular Chinese medical teams, which have also been dispatched from Henan Province to Zambia every two years since 1978.
