Grant Description

In 2009, the Chinese Government dispatched the 11th Chinese medical team to Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital (T.T.M.) in the Moto'otua neighborhood within Samoa’s capital city of Apia. The team consisted of 7 medical professionals.

Letters of exchange for this project were signed on July 31, 2007, but it appears that the team didn't arrive until 2009.

According to the 2009-10 Approved Estimates, the foreign aid utilization for this project amounted to around 400,000 USD.

According to "中国萨摩亚签署医疗合作协议," the team will consist of "a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, two physicians, two operating room nurses and an interpreter." Though exact start and end dates for this medical team are unclear, the 12th medical team began work in Samoa on September 21, 2011 (see Record ID#64849).
