Grant Description
China has been sending medical teams to Sierra Leone from Hunan Province since 1973. China stopped sending medical teams in 1993 due to civil conflict and political instability. However, it began sending teams again in 2002.
In 2017, the Chinese Government and the Government of Sierra Leone signed an agreement, dispatching the 19th Chinese medical team to Sierra Leone. The 20-member team was stationed at Sierra Leone-China Friendship Hospital in the town of Jui. It completed its term of service between May 29, 2017 and July 8, 2018.
It diagnosed and treated more than 29,887 patients, and it completed more than 300 complex operations.
On May 22, 2018, the team provided free medical service to the University of Sierra Leone (张学谦参赞出席援塞医疗队赴塞拉利昂大学义诊活动).
