Grant Description

On April 6, 2017, the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHFPC) and the Ministry of Public Health of Guyana signed an agreement in which the NHFPC committed to dispatching a team of public health experts to Guyana. Additional details are unknown. A team of four public health experts arrived and met with the Minister of Public Health on May 30th, 2017.

This visit marked the beginning of their four week stay to assist Guyana in the fight against the zika virus.

📋 Staff Comments

It is unclear how this project is related, if at all, to the 13th batch of Chinese volunteer doctors from the Jiangsu Province, as captured by project ID#71208. It is possible the agreement signed on April 7, 2017 was an agreement for that project, but based on the fact that NHFPC was involved in this agreement (and it appears it was not involved in ID#71208) and the agreement signed on April 7 was for public health experts (as opposed to doctors that interact with patients daily, as the Chinese volunteer doctors are), AidData has decided for the time being that the agreement signed on April 7 did, in fact, represent a separate commitment of public health experts from China.
