Description

In 2010, the Chinese Government dispatched the 14th medical team to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The 14th medical team consisted of 18 members who were stationed at the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital, which is located in N'djili, Kinshasa. The team completed its term of service between May 2010 and April 21, 2012. It performed more than 200 cases of surgery, 240 cases of emergency care and 23,300 cases of general consultations during its term of service. The Chinese Government provided $2,800,799 of grant funding to support three Chinese medical missions (recorded in the linked project #59088): the 13th medical mission (recorded in project #34183), the 14th medical mission (recorded in this project), and the 15th medical mission (recorded in project #36321). The Chinese Government also provided an RMB 48 million grant for the construction of the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital (recorded in project #438). 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.
