Chinese Government dispatches 22nd medical team to Maputo Central Hospital in 2019

Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In September 2018, West China Hospital of Sichuan University was chosen by the Chinese Government, along with other healthcare providers in the Sichuan province of China, to provide personnel for the 22nd Chinese Medical Team to Mozambique. The team was intended to be stationed in Maputo Central Hospital for two years while working to bolster Mozambique's health sector. On January 15, 2019, the 22nd Chinese Medical Team arrived at Maputo Central Hospital in Mozambique. During their time in Mozambique, the team provided medical assistance to the people of Mozambique and helped coordinate the country's response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 22nd Chinese Medical Team was planned to stay in Mozambique until January 28, 2021, however the Covid-19 pandemic delayed the team's return to China. The last members of the 22nd Chinese Medical Team completed their work and returned to China on March 19, 2021.
