Grant Description
On June 5, 2018, the Chinese Embassy in Sierra Leone hosted a launch ceremony for the second phase of the "China and Sierra Leone Maternal and Child Health Innovation Project".
A Chinese medical team from Hunan province in China offered free medical care to children, pregnant and lactating mothers for 12 days.
