The team was located at General Peltier Hospital. On June 26, 2024, for the third consecutive year, the team received the Independence Day National award for their service from the Djiboutian Prime Minister.

During their time in Djibouti, the medical team provided over 26,000 outpatient visits, 1,900 surgeries, three training sessions for traditional Chinese medicine with 74 trainees, and six medical consultations including rounds of visits. Since 1981, Shanxi Province has sent medical teams to Djibouti as part of a foreign aid initiative.
