On January 29, 2015, the Chinese Government and the Government of Mali signed a protocol agreement, dispatching the 24th Chinese medical team to Mali.

The 31-member team was stationed at the Mali Hospital (Hôpital du Mali or 3ème centre hospitalier de référence), which is located on the right bank of the Niger River in Yirimadio within Commune 6 and Bamako District. The team completed its term of service between July 21, 2015 and July 26, 2017.
