Grant Description
On November 16, 2021, the 20th Chinese medical team to the Democratic Republic of the Congo was dispatched from Shijiazhuang, Heibei Province, and flew to Ndjili, Kinshasa, where they were assigned to work at the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital for a one-year medical mission. The team was formed in January 2021 and consisted of 21 members.
The purpose of their trip was to fulfill a previous agreement between the two governments to provide health services for the people of the DRC and participate in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Before embarking on their mission, they completed a 5-month training program. The Chinese Government has been sending medical teams to the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1973.
However, due to internal turmoil, the Chinese Government stopped sending medical teams from 1997 to 2008. Hubei Province has been responsible for sending the medical teams.
